Constructed by the U.S. government to be secure and self-sustaining, PARI’s infrastructure includes a water system, power generation, fire protection, wastewater treatment, and security systems.  These systems were built to NASA’s exacting standards and most are redundant.  During the years of government operation several hundred million dollars were invested in the 200-acre PARI campus.  Much of the investment was left and has been restored to operational status.  PARI has also invested in significant facility and equipment upgrades and added new capabilities.  Currently, the operating infrastructure includes:
•    100,000 square feet of temperature-controlled floor space including 30,000 square feet of raised floor space
