In response to a request from Congress, the OIG evaluated NASA’s actions regarding the relocation and closure of buildings, laboratories, facilities, equipment, and personnel at Goddard Space Flight Center. While accelerated relocation and closure efforts conducted at Goddard generally aligned with the Center’s Master Plan, communication failures throughout the process resulted in confusion related to the efforts and increased challenges to the Center’s workforce.
