For over 50 years, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Volpe Center has been at the forefront of innovation. In 2023, GSA opened a state-of-the-art facility, marking the first-ever federal building exchange between the government and a private partner, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Building on its legacy of leadership, the Volpe Center has launched a GPG Learning Lab to test and evaluate emerging indoor environmental quality (IEQ) technologies.
This lab will serve as a hub for IEQ advancements and provide workshops and hands-on training to improve occupant health while fostering public-private partnerships.
