Time for a change: MIL makes the move

After seven years on Wilson Blvd., MIL’s Rosslyn offices have moved! MIL’s newest Virginia offices are located at 1700 North Moore
Street, Suites 1840/1850, Arlington, VA 22209. Post-COVID-19, approximately 20 MIL employees will be assigned to the new MIL
Arlington offices. These staff are all currently working remotely from home in support of MIL’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
financial services contract. To reflect MIL’s heightened public health concerns, the layout of the new office space and the assignment of
the workspaces was designed to promote social distancing for as long as necessary. Staff workspaces are spaced out so not one person
is directly next to, in front of, nor behind another person. Once employees begin to work from our Rosslyn offices, employee work
schedules will also be arranged to facilitate social distancing throughout the day.

Asked what prompted the move, MIL VP John Roland acknowledged, “It was time for a change in terms of cost, better office
accommodations, amenities, and office management. The new location provides better access to public transportation for our current
MIL employees. The new Rosslyn Metro Center will be opening later this fall with new food court, restaurants, coffee lounges, gym
facilities and other amenities that our employees will be able to take advantage of. Finally, we will be working with a world-class
landlord management team of American Real Estate Partners (AREP). Our interactions with them thus far and through the whole
move preparation process has been exemplary. They are very responsive, and MIL is already viewed as AREP’s “Model Tenant” at the
new Rosslyn Metro Center. We are going to work extremely hard and with AREP closely to maintain that designation.”
John also noted that his staff have expressed how much they like the new office both in design and function and are “happy to call it our
new home.” He also added that in a few weeks, he is hoping to provide the means for other MIL personnel to “virtually” visit the new
MIL Arlington office.
Congratulations to John and the entire FAA team on their new location!
