DETAILS

Orchestrating operational transition within a newly delivered federal facility

Following construction of the 570,000-square-foot MIT Volpe Transportation Center, Procon supported the transition of personnel, assets, and critical operations from five separate facilities into a consolidated, LEED Platinum research center.

The relocation required phased sequencing to maintain mission continuity for the U.S. Department of Transportation while coordinating furniture, equipment, IT infrastructure, and stakeholder communication across multiple divisions.

Procon developed and implemented a comprehensive move management framework that included asset tracking, logistics coordination, schedule integration, invoice verification, and post-move validation. Working closely with federal stakeholders, MIT, and contractors, Procon ensured operational readiness at each phase of occupancy.

The result was a controlled, accountable transition that aligned personnel, systems, and facility infrastructure from day one.
