GENERAL SERVICES SELECTS MOCA SYSTEMS TO HELP PLAN U.S. COURT HOUSE IN YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO

Newton, MA- September 5, 2001 -- MOCA Systems Inc., the leader in capital facilities analysis and planning software, was selected by the US General Services Administration (GSA) to provide planning and analysis services for the US Federal Court House in Youngstown, Ohio as a pilot project.

MOCA Systems will provide its MOCA Build planning and analysis software and related services to facilitate planning and decision-making on the Youngstown project. MOCA Systems can help make the project team more effective and productive, enabling the project manager to assess 10-20 alternatives a month, including choices in the most advanced systems. The pilot project is being sponsored by Robert Hixon, Director of the Center for Construction and Project Management in the Office of the Chief Architect for the US GSA.

"The ability to leverage information and lessons learned between projects provides enormous value to GSA given the large number of projects they work on each year. The pressure to bring projects in on schedule and on budget has never been greater," notes Dr. Sarah Slaughter, founder and CEO of MOCA Systems. "We are excited to be working with such an innovative team in the Office of the Chief Architect."

The U.S. Court House in Youngstown, OH is a 50,000 square foot three story building. It was designed by Robert A.M. Stern and URS Corporation, and Dick Corporation is the construction manager. The building will house the US Bankruptcy Court, Internal Revenue Service, the Congressional offices for the local district, United States Trustees and the General Services Administration. This new building is a product of GSA's Design Excellence Program, which is intended to attract the talents of the nation's top architects. In addition, the project design calls for environmentally sustainable "green" building approaches and systems. Construction began in the Spring 2000 and completion is scheduled for Fall 2002.
