MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Logistics Services Division, OL
Chief, Real Estate & Construction Division, OL
FROM: 25X1
Chief, Building Planning Staff, OL
SUBJECT: Space Planning
1. At the outset of the new building project, it was
recognized that a detailed space requirements statement would be
required to both design and defend the proposed new building on
Headquarters compound. It was also noted that final
organizational assignments to new space at Headquarters would
logically occur late in the project. This created a need to
construct a requirements system large enough to track space
requirements of all components eligible to reside at
Headquarters.
2. The attachment provides a general description of the
system built with the assistance of Plans & Programs
Staff/Systems Analysis Branch. The system became active in the
fall of 1981, and requirements updating has been underway since
then. At this time, approximately 95 percent of the DDA and DO
requirements are current. The )DS&T requirements are 25 percent
complete and should be 95 percent complete by the end of the
year. We have just recently requested the DDI update, which will
reflect the new organizations, and this should be available by
mid-January.
3. The advantages to this staff in using this planning
technique are:
a. The substantial reduction in clerical workload
achieved by using the Office of Personnel database
for loading the bulk of the planning information.
b. The greater equity achieved in allocating space
because of the weights applied to the component
grade structures.

4. The purpose of this memorandum is to suggest that this
planning tool be incorporated into the space planning methods of
your components as an adjunct to your current techniques. This
would benefit us by validating our technique and may benefit your
components by providing a better tool. CRAMS is a good tool to
keep us informed on where we are. SPREAD is intended to provide
the next step, i.e., where we need to go.
5. We are interested in your comments.
