Why Work at NIST?
Approximately 2,500 NIST staffers work at our 234 hectare (578 acre) site in Gaithersburg, MD, while about 350 work at our Boulder, Colo., site. Here’s a brief glimpse of what we can offer you: • In Gaithersburg, MD, our peaceful, wooded campus is beautifully landscaped with mature trees and ponds, white-tailed deer and Canada geese, walking paths, and picnic area. The campus provides easy and pleasant access for outdoor repasts, biking, walking, and jogging. • In Boulder, CO, NIST’s laboratories occupy a scenic, 84-hectare campus at the foot of the Colorado Front Range. The campus is shared with offices and laboratories for units of two other Commerce Department agencies (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration).
