As recently announced, Kaiser Permanente of the Mid-Atlantic States is moving forward with construction of a brand-new administrative facility in the New Carrollton Transit Center in Prince George’s County. This investment is a testament to the phenomenal work our employees are doing to expand our presence in this region. It is also part of a larger initiative to ensure our employees work in spaces that live up to our “total health” promise.
This new facility will open in 2018 with room for about 850 employees. The new state-of-the-art location will provide employees with an environment that truly lives up to Kaiser Permanente’s Thrive brand. Employees will benefit from easy Metro, MARC and Amtrak access; walkable surroundings; a modern fitness center; on-site dining options; a full conference center; and environmentally friendly design. Employees will also benefit from a state-of-art workspace that supports employee health, wellbeing, safety, innovation, collaboration and productivity. Additionally, we will be situated in the New Carrollton Transit Center, which will be a vibrant, mixed-use development that will include a wide range of retail and residential options as well as a community park.
A key consideration in selecting this location was accessibility. We have heard loud and clear that employees want easy Metro access. The New Carrollton building location is within walking distance of the New Carrollton Transit Center, which is a primary transit node for the Metropolitan Washington D.C. area. Employees will have easy access to Metro and MARC trains, as well as 25 different bus lines and Interstates 50 and 495.
Our new building got the attention of the community, as well. Take a look at recent coverage in the Washington Business Journal here and Bowie Patch here.

Greetings!
Is there going to be adequate parking for the 850 employees that are moving to New Carrolton?
Hi Dana,
This is the information we received from the project team: “We are still finalizing plans for the new location. Finalizing parking is part of this planning process. While we have not finalized the plans, the parking will likely be more limited than what we currently have. We will encourage employees to take advantage of public transportation—and will offer subsidies.” I hope that helps, thanks!

Good Morning!
I am truly excited about the new administrative building that is being constructed! I see all the great benefits of the transit center and what not. However there is no mention of a parking structure to accomodate those who will be commuting by car like we already do to Siver Spring. Can you please povide an update on this? I have already worked at one Kaiser facilty before with parking issues and it was a total nightmare. I just would not want the same situation to happen with 850 people.

I’m delighted to see KP making this major commitment to expanding our footprint in Prince George’s county. I believe there is a great opportunity for significant growth in our membership within the county, and this state-of-the-art facility as proposed will not only reflect our focus on total health as an organization, but also underscore our intention to be a major health care player in the county well into the future. As we march to a million members, the 850 employees to be stationed at New Carrollton will help to support a growing and vibrant KPMAS, and this facility will hopefully help to showcase the value of our brand and the attract more attention to the unparalleled excellence of Permanente medicine.
I’m KP proud!
