5.3: Infrastructure
Build, modernize, and maintain facilities and infrastructure to achieve mission goals and ensure a safe and secure workplace. Other Information:
The Department’s real property assets are vital to the accomplishment of its mission. Real property assets of the Department
are located at over 50 sites across the Nation with approximately 20,000 buildings and other structures covering 127 million
square feet on 3.1 million acres of land, an area roughly the size of the state of Connecticut. The replacement plant value
of these assets (not including land value) is $77.1 billion. Unlike many other Federal agencies, the vast majority of DOE
sites are government-owned and contractor-operated and maintained. The Department’s real property portfolio is composed primarily
of large complexes of diverse facilities of critical importance to DOE's mission, such as reactors, accelerators, and Cold
War-era buildings that should be retired. The Department owes it to the public and DOE employees to be good stewards and to
provide safe and quality work places that are aligned with and supportive of our mission requirements.
