IMMEDIATE FUTURE SPACE POSTURE
Headquarters Building
The implementation of imminent new operational programs
.requiring new space and requiring time-phased develop-
ment obviates the long-range approach to solving these
immediate future needs. Such new and expanded program
needs requiring new space in the Headquarters Building
during the short to medium-range future have been
identified as follows:
1. Continuing phased expansions of the OJCS com-
puter center are proposed for the first floor.
OJCS defined projections of phased OJCS computer
center expansions include a minimal 3,000 square
foot po?t ORACLE expansion and, although dis-
approved by the;DDA, a request for an additional
8,300 square feet in which standard layout access
space could be provided for all existing and
proposed computer equipment.
2. The proposed creation of a new CRS computer
center for Project SAFE will require phased
requirements of new space during the immediate
future. CRS defined projections anticipate
a total requirement of 14,000-18,000 square
feet of space. Phased space requirements

approximate 6,000-8,000 square feet in FY 197,
5,000-6,000 square feet in FY 1977, and 3,000-
4,000 square feet in FY 1979.
3. Expansion of utilities support systems to pro-
vide adequate, reliable and redundant utilities
service to these new and expanded critical ESE
operating areas will require the installation
of additional uninterrupted power systems, and
the additional expansion of power vaults with the
inherent demand for more utilities systems
expansion space in the most restrictive areas
of the basement floor. Major modifications of
existing backup air conditioning systems will be
required to maximize their output and adequately
serve the above expanded projects.
4. If the state of the art of development and appli-
cation of computers to Agency operational needs
continues to increase at an accelerated rate,
as present trends infer, additional ESE or
related space requirements may be anticipated
for other Agency components and functions such as;
a. OC/DDA - Communications center expansions
b. DDI CIA operations center (NIOC)

could include the following factors:
a. New "Secure Voice" telephone system
automatic switching equipment
b. Continuing increases in DDS&T staffing
c. Building storage areas (as previously
defined)
d. New classified waste disposal system
If proposed classified waste disposal
studies indicate replacement of present
systems, space may be required for
collection systems, destruction systems,
and storage holding areas.
e. Staging Area
In order to address the above new space
needs, ongoing space modifications
attributable to organizational change,
and space modifications to achieve greater
space efficiencies due to space utiliza-
tion study adjustments, an unassigned
staging area should be made available to
temporarily house Agency components on
an interim basis during modification of
areas to which they will be relocated.
Such a staging area would be most effective
in the Headquarters Building but could

be made to work reasonably well if"
made available t in an external building.
The interim facilities and space posture impact upon
the Agency by potential ESE area failures due to
limitations in support systems and physical constraints
could be To a greater extent, present ESE
areas have been incrementally conceived and implemented
on the basis of sudden accelerated need over an inter-
mittent x and unpredictable time frame. The implementation
of environmental utilities support systems has attempted
to provide for known needs and realistic levels of pro-
jected utilities support needs on. the basis of state
of the art of utilities equipment, maxim practical size
and capacity of equipment, cost, availability of space,
and the policy of redundant reliability.
Accelerated ESE area systems expansions on a crisis
time frame have increased beyond utilities support
systems capacities and are presently requiring an ongoing
first phase utilities system expansion. Additional
known requirements have surfaced an imminent need for
second and third phase utilities system expansions and
related space for the immediate future time frame.
A recently writtten ESE area status paper addressed
the present facilities and space posture of our present
ESE centers. i t concluded that the reliability of

their continued operation could not be assured
due to,the congestion and physical constraints which
inhibit adequate space for appropriate utilities support
systems serving overcrowded existing equipment and
new state of the art computer equipment requirements.
The study recommended consolidation, expansion, and
relocation of all ESE functions to the first floor
where adequate present and future needs can be provided.
If, during the immediate future time period, failures
or malfunctions occur in ESE are as which cannot be
solved or corrected in reasonable time frames, the
above ESE recommendations should be considered and
applied. Such a condition would impact upon our short
and medium range future by forcing the relocation of
components from the first floor and by entering into
an accelerated phased or a total ESE construction pro-
gram in this area as wholly or partially recommended
in the referenced study.
The search for space in the Hea.dquartets Building will
be an unending task as various organizations variables
interact upon our space holdings. Efforts should
continue to examine prevailing Headquarters Building
in
space utilization ratesAorder to achieve increased space
for other priority uses,.

to Headquarters although no time frame occupancy
limitations exist. Continuing upgrading of technical
and office space, and some utilities support systems
in the 2430 E Street complex during the past five to
seven years should provide sufficient quality,
quantity and operationally adequate space for its
functions through the medium-range future.
External Commercial Leased Buildings
The impact of lease expiration and negotiations of new
leases on Agency immediate future space posture is
imminent. Lease negotiations to obtain new leases,
replacement buildings for Key, ;Magazine, C of C,
Ames, and _ Buildings will 'be requiring during and
within the next 13 months (January 197) . Attachment

provides comparative data on building identity,
building area, present lease stipulations and lease
timing. The excellent quality of Ames, Key, C of C,
STATINTL and _ Buildings and the fine relationships,
STATINTL
timely services, and excellent performances of their
relative managements support continuing occupancy of
these buildings during the immediate future. Leasing
objectives include the attainment of the most flexible
lease terms which would allow relocation to new buildings
at Headquarters in the next seven to ten year building
program time frame.
,Magazine Building poses the most immediate future problem
on the one hand and a very viable opportunity on the
other. Extremely substandard occupancy conditions in
Magazine Building fully warrant Agency relocation at
the expiration of the lease on November 25, 1975.
Although GSA has been requested to locate replacement
space in to establish another centralized
STATINTL Agency satelite complex including
Buildings, GSA has advertised for space in a five-mile
radius from Headquarters Building in keeping with legal
constraints. The viable opportunity is inherent in
the quantity of space requested.. The Agency has requested
a 90,000 square-foot building to replace a 70,000 square-
foot Magazine Building in which, there w exists approximately
.10,000 square feet of unoccupied space and in which tie
space utilization rate is a above average.

The options and opportunities are numerous. This
replacement building would provide a minimum of 30,000
square feet of space in excess of that presently
occupied in Magazine Building for relief of Headquarters
Building space problems or a much-required, interim
"Staging or Holding Area." Another option for con-
sideration would involve relocation of DDS&T office
level components from Headquarters Building and Ames
Building to this new relocation building. Portions
of the present occupants of Magazine Building could
backfill Ames Building space vacated by ORD/DDSET along
with presently unoccupied space, and as necessary, be
relocated to the new replacement building or Head-
quarters Building.
Other options include the relocation of Magazine Building
components to the new relocation building and the provision
of a "Staging Area" remote from Headquarters Building.
r
A variation of this option would involve the above
base premise, the relocation of selected components
from Headquarters, and the provision of a "Staging Area"
a in Headquarters Building.
Whatever space reallocation or reassignment configurations
are realized from this approach, a net gain of space
and an interim solution to a greater portion of Agency
immediate future space problems is foreseeable. As

earlier in this paper, it is anticipated that time
delays in acquiring this replacement building due to
the present GSA freeze on leasing and in designing
and construcing necessary space modifications could
result in.occupancy of this building later than
the Magazine Building lease expiration date of November
25, 1975. If these anticipated delays occur, and no
other interim options are practical or possible,
negotiations which would allow minimal extended occupancy
of Magazine Building may he required.
In summary, the impact of anticipated increased space
demands upon a limited and saturated current space
posture in headquarters Building suggests the examination
of various alternatives aid options both internal to
Headquarters Building, external buildings, and acquisition
of additional external space to solve for the immediate
short- and medium=range space and facilities needs of
the Agency. Major demands for additional space derive
from known operational programs requiring new and
expanded computer facilities; increased computer facilities
projections due to increasing trends in computer
applications; peripheral computer-related utilities
support systems; distribution systems; decentralized
remote input systems; or;rnizational component growth;
storage; staging areas; and classified waste disposal
systems. The space postur of our external buildings
may be assessed and defined as a condition of sufficient

total required space, the occupancy of space at a
higher than average space utilization rate, the availability
of excess unoccupied space, and ct good to excellent
quality space. It is anticipated, that additional
space could be recaptured and space use efficiencies
realized through the-mg conduct of space utilization
studies, subsequent modifications, and reallocation of
space Y gains. In essence, such available space and
potential space recapture in our external buildings could
continue to be looked upon as a quick reaction relief
valve for immediate Headquarters Building component
relocation needs in order to provide for more priority
component pressence at Headquarters. The acquisition
of a replacement building for Magazine Building ma;? be
the most important first step in overcoming the p-esent
space log jam. Attainment of the most flexible lc,.se
terms t on all new leases during this immediate fu,:ure
period will place the Agency in a most advantageous
position consistent with a long-range building program
at Headquarters.
