SPACE Act of 2025

In plain language: This bill directs the General Services Administration to help federal agencies share leased office space and facilities rather than renting separate buildings. Officials will consult with agency tenants to address concerns about sharing workplaces, create standards for co-locating offices, and figure out how to share specialized facilities like conference rooms. The agency must also set measurable benchmarks to track whether these shared-space arrangements actually succeed, with a progress report to Congress within six months.
