Tangible products of the FFC include symposia, which usually are held at the National Academy of Sciences, and reports. Through the years, the FFC has conducted or sponsored more than 150 formal studies and investigations dealing with virtually every aspect of the design, construction, and operation of facilities. By helping the agencies solve problems and improve the design of federal facilities, the FFC has saved taxpayers untold millions of dollars.
