Two previous determinations of eligibility have been made for the NIST Gaithersburg campus. Both the
2014 and 2015 determinations acknowledged that the entire 578 +/- campus is eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. The purpose of this Addendum is to establish
the current (2016) list of buildings, structures, landscapes and objects that contribute to the significance
of the property. As stated by MD SHPO Elizabeth Hughes in October 2015, all pre-1970 buildings
contribute to the significance of the NIST campus (Elizabeth Hughes letter dated 10/29/15). Below is a
list of the contributing and non-contributing resources comprising the NIST Historic District:
