  Commission Recommendation Conveyance Report

BRAC Summary: The Commission recommends Army Material Technology Laboratory (AMTL) for closure primarily due to the condition of its facilities and infrastructure. The laboratory s mission of developing new materials to enhance the effectiveness and warfighting capability of the Army can be performed at other Army installations. Relocating that mission will take advantage of existing Army property, reduce base operations costs, and combine research groups with those working on similar technologies.

Property Description: The Army Materials Technology Laboratory (AMTL) was located on the northern shore of the Charles River in Watertown, MA, approximately five miles west of Boston. It occupied approximately 47 acres and consisted of industrial and administrative structures.
