I. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this paper is to address the various basic
factors and key questions which would influence a new building
program and to present a preliminary overview of potential options
for proposed construction in the Langley Compound. The obvious
first question is "Will there be a new building?" Assuming the
answer to be yes, other questions arise. What will be the scope and
scale of this new facility? Will the new facility solve for
Headquarters Building needs, external building needs, or both?
How will the building program be funded and what time frame is
acceptable? The intent of this effort is to evaluate these
factors and considerations as a preliminary assessment which
will provide a basis for further study, development, and future
decision-making relative to such a potential program.
II. BRIEF HISTORY
Throughout the years, the Agency has strived to consolidate
its Headquarters functions and holdings at one central location.
Due to the approval of less than required appropriations from
the Congress, only a portion of the Agency was provided for in
the new Headquarters Building at Langley in early 1960. The
remainder of Agency external functions were eventually relocated
from temporary buildings to permanent building satellite complexes
in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. Several years after

the occupancy of Headquarters Building, the Printing Services
Building was constructed on the Headquarters site. In 1974,
the new Headquarters Motor Pool Garage was completed and occupied.
A new classified waste destruction Hammermill Building will be
constructed on the site within the next year. In 197_ approxi-
mately acres of Department of Transportation land to the
west of our Headquarters compound was assigned to the Agency as
part of an underutilized federal property excessing process.
A. Current Agency MWA Facilities Posture
1. Number and Size of MWA Buildings
In addition to the facilities on the Headquarters com-
pound, the Agency occupie external buildings
and square feet of space in the Washington, D.C.,
Northern Virginia, Metropolitan Washington Area. These
facilities are located in satellite complexes such as
STATINTL
2430 E Street andi which are federally
owned buildings; and Rosslyn,
STATINTL
which are commercially leased buildings. A specific
listing of Agency occupied space inthe MWA is contained
I
in Attachment 1. Other Agency holdings such as covert,
operational, or functionally incompatible space have
not been included since their consideration is irrelevant
to the objectives of this paper.

2. Lease and Ownership Status
Forthcoming and oroing negotiations of leases on
all comercially leased buildings will occur within
the next year. Lease arrangements are intended to
provide the flexibility necessary to be compatible with
a seven-to-ten-year time frame anticipated for imple-
mentation of an Agency building program at Headquarters.
Lease expiration dates and present lease conditions
for each leased building is contained in Attachment 2.
Continuing efforts have been exerted with the General
Services Administration to aquire a replacement
building on an accelerated basis for Magazine Building
whose lease expires in November 1975. GSA has received
offerings of space from prospective building owners in
response to a formal GSA request of interest and has
issued solicitations for specific bid proposals which
are due in mid-March for 90,000 square feet of space
within a five mile radius of Headquarters Building.
External federally owned buildings occupied by the
Agency appear to pose no major tenure problems. On-
going construction in newly acquired space on the
STATINTL sixth floor
should provide NPIC with
sufficient expansion space. There are no known future

plans for other than continued federal occupancy of
which houses the OGCR/DDI Map Library. Continued Agency
occupancy of the 2430 E Street Complex appears certain and
unlimited. A major factor requiring its tenure is the existence
of satellite telephone equipment systems in Central Building
through which all telephone switching for "downtown Agency com-
ponents" is accomplished. The only potential threat to continued
occupancy could be the contiguous bcation of this complex to
State Department Headquarters. It is understood that the State
Department has expressed interest in these facilities in the past.
B. Previous Planning
1. Ad Hoc Study Group
In 1966 an ad hoc study group analyzed Agency space
posture and recommended the need for further and serious
consideration for the design and construction of a
"Special Purpose Technical Building" in which all
existing and proposed technical functions could be
consolidated at the Headquarters site.
2. Building Planning Staff No. 2
A Building Planning Staff was established in 1969. Its
major contribution consisted of an interim partial con-
solidation plan involving expansion of the Printing
Services Building and the implementation of a Preliminary
Master Plan conceptualizing the consolidation of MWA

Agency functions other than the National Photographic
Interpretation Center (NPIC) and the Central Depot on
an expanded Headquarters site. The consolidation was
justified on the basis of cost effectiveness and opera-
tional efficiency. The exclusions of NPIC and Central
Depot were due to excess size, functional incompatibility,
acceptability of operational separation, and unnecessary
excessive costs of reproducing perfectly adequate
sophisticated facilities.
3. Headquarters Garage and Preliminary Master Plan
Upon the development of design drawings for the Head-
quarters Garage, federal law required the review of
the garage design and the Preliminary Master Plan of
the Headquarters site by the National Capital Planning
Commission (NCPC) and a review of environmental impact
descriptions for these presentations by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) prior to project approval. A
ser.ies of discussions were held with NCPC and EPA and
certain parameters were established for physical and
environmental factors that would have to be considered.

4. Building Planning Staff No. 3
Re-establishment of the current Building Planning Staff
resulted from the impact of an in-house Environmentally
Sensitive Equipment (ESE) study which concluded that our
Headquarters Building sensitive equipment functions were
marginally supported in terms of reliability and safety
and that trends indicated existing ESE areas could not
provide an adequate environment for future equipment.
Study recommendations included a proposal to renovate
an area of Headquarters Building to provide adequate
ESE facilities while maintaining on:oing ESE operations.
Affected Agency component reaction to the study favored
the construction of a new ESE building rather than
modification of the Headquarters Building.
Accelerated action to recruit five contract professional
architects and engineers for the Building Planning Staff
is underway and many of the candidates are presently
undergoing concurrent background investigations and
internal processing. Upon successful recruitment and
staffing, the BPS will conduct the necessary surveys,
research, analysis, and planning to determine Agency
facilities requirements for a new building. This

effort will result in a program requirements document
for internal approval which will also consist of
various planning options, budgetary estimates, timing,
organizational posture, and design and construction
process recommendations. Upon achieving internal
program approvals, a Congressional strategy and program
justification will be prepared for Congressional project
approval, design funding appropriations, and construction
funding appropriations. The BPS will then perform as
Agency focal point for the coordination, liaison,
monitoring, and influencing the implementation of
design and construction of the building project.
III, DISCUSSION - OPTIONS AND FACTORS AFFECTING NEW CONSTRUCTION
A. Justification
1. Cost Effectiveness
The present dispersed location of Agency functions has
had a effect upon Agency operational
efficiency and cost effectiveness in terms of personnel,
money, and facilities. Agency occupancy of such multi-
building locations has resulted in loss of personnel
time due to travel between facilities and duplication
of guards, receptionists, couriers and mail clerks,
building services officers, and administrative/supervisory
personnel. Large sums of.money are being expended on

rents for leased commercial buildings, TWX service,
telephone mileage charges, additional telephone
switching equipment, reimbursement of private car
use and formal vehicle and shuttle bus service. In
addition, many space functions have been duplicated
such as, supply rooms, receptionist areas, guard
locker rooms, snack bars, and classified waste
storage and collection vaults. In 1972, Building
Planning Staff No. 2 prepared a study which addressed
the benefits to be derived in this area through con-
solidation at Headquarters. The study concluded that
worthwhile operational cost savings and personnel
savings could be realized in the above areas and
that very obvious operational efficiencies would be
achieved.
2. Headquarters Overcrowding
Through the years of Agency growth and general on oing
reorganization, there have been component relocations
to external buildings to provide space for components
whose presence is required in Headquarters Building.
As Headquarters components continue to grow and new
organizations are created, they are willing to accept
more densly occupied space conditions in Headquarters
Building in order to be more contiguous to their patent

Approved Epr Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP86-06244R000300100003-0
component and achieve greater operational efficiency.
Accordingly, the Headquarters Building has become over-
crowded to the saturation point. Agency Headquarters
standard office space occupancy rates are
square feet per person as compared tofederal government
standards of square feet per person. These
sub-standard levels of space occupancy are unacceptable
since they create inadequate working conditions which
are a deterent to operational efficiency, employee
morale, and employee health. The relief of such over=
crowded conditions.in Headquarters Building is one of
the several logical and necessary justifications to
construct anew facility.
3. Environmentally Sensitive Equipment Facilities Problems
In addition to changes in Agency organization and
growth, the Agency has undergone a transition in its
technological development. Increasing amounts of the
building have become technically oriented and contain
FSE housed in environmentally sophisticated areas which
are supported by special and independent back-up utilities
support systems. Continuing saturation of these areas
with additional equipment is taxing the capacities of
utilities support systems and present physical features

Approved F Release 2002/05/07 : CIA-RDP86-002R000300100003-0
of these areas are drastically limiting further
utilities distributions. The ESE study previously
referred to in this paper identified marginable
support posture for existing ESE areas and an inadequate
environment for future equipment. Study recommendations
included relocations and replacement of ESE areas within
adequately designed state of the art facilities in Head-
quarters Building. Using components desire relocation
to a new facility. The problems to be overcome and the
benefits to be derived in the relocation of ESE functions
would support justification of new construction or re-
placement construction within Headquarters Building
depending upon the overall advantages to be gained by
the Agency.

B. Scope and Cost Options
In order to establish a cost yardstick for general
discussion purposes, an assignment of costs for various
portions of this proposed building program has been
projected and is submitted as Attachment 3. Cost factors
used are a measure of current average square foot costs
of pure office buildings and special purpose buildings
in the construction industry. Total project costs also
include projected yearly cost excalation; projected costs
for architectural and engineering (A/E) design services,
General Services Administration (GSA) services, and con-
tingencies. Total area requirements have been determined
on the basis of a ratio of 75 percent net area space to
25 percent gross area space. Cost assignments should be
interpreted as general "ballpark estimates" for comparative
purposes at this time. More accurate estimates will be
available as specific requirements are identified through
further study and project development.

2. Relocate Headquarters Building ESE Space
The referenced ESE study identified approximately
65,000 square feet of environmentally sensitive
equipment areas in Headquarters Building which should
be relocated to more adequate facilities. Functions
recommended to be relocated included the OJCS, ISG,
OEL, computer centers, the OC signal center Max II,

3. Consolidate Leased Buildings
Present :lease buildings occupied by the Agency are
located in three satallite locations as follows:
Rosslyn - Ames,
and Fairfax - Chamber of Commerce
Key and Magazine Buildings;
STATINTL
Building.
Rosslyn:
Relocation of Rosslyn space would predominently involve
97 percent office space and 3 percent special-use space
including signal centers, computer centers, photographic
dark rooms, and medical laboratory/examination facilities.
A total of 339,000 net square feet or 452,000 gross
square feet of space at an estimated cost of $55,325,000
would be required to replace this space at Headquarters.
Fairfax County:
The Chamber of Commerce Building consists of general
office space and includes seminar rooms, classrooms, a
language training laboratory, and student language
training study rooms. Relocation of these functions to
a new facility at Headquarters would involve 103,000
new feet or 137,300 gross square feet of space at an
estimated cost of $16,595,000.

~s essentially general office space
but includes a 10,000 square foot vault, a screen
room computer center, screen room communications
center, a sophisticated task force briefing/conference
center, emergency power, and emergency air conditioning.
Replacement and relocation of these facilities and
functions to a new facility at Headquarters would re-
quire 40,500 new square feet or 54,000 gross square
feet of space at an estimated cost of $7,090,000.
4. Consolidate Government-Owned Buildings:
The only Agency occupied government-owned facilities
which are being considered for potential Headquarters
consolidation are East Building, Central Building and
South Building in the 2430 E Street complex. Functions
in these buildings consist of 70 percent general office
space and 30 percent special-purpose space which
includes chemistry laboratories, student training
photographic dark rooms, sophisticated photographic
processing dark rooms, and various specialty laboratory
process areas. Replacement of these functions in Head-
quarters construction would require 78,300 net square
feet or 104,400 r oss square feet of space for a total
estimated cost of $14,350,,000.

5. Parking Structures
Previous parking studies indicate that total external
Agency consolidation at Headquarters site would require
0
additional parking spaces. Agency land at
Headquarters presently available for a new building
program is not sufficient to satisfy the total con-
solidation building construction requirement and
total new surface parking. in this amount. Therefore,
it is anticipated that the parking requirement of
0
cars for total consolidation would require
approximately 654,500 square feet of elevated structured
parking over either the West, South or North parking
lots at an approximate cost of $10,205,000.

either a single building or a complex of buildings approach to
solve for Agency potential consolidation needs. The merits
of each option can be evaluated upon the comparison of pros
and cons of each approach as follows:
Single Build
Pros
1. Maximize operational efficiency.
2. Maximize flexibility of organi-
zational and functional relationships
3. Allow the &.sired contiguity of

5. Maximize the flexibility of
organizational and functional re-
location between Headquarters
Building and one single new
building.
6. Minimize the number of utilities,
housekeeping, connnunications,
digital data, security, safety,
and control systems required to
operate and maintain facilities
and to support Agency operations.
7. Achieve maximum amount of
building for the dollar.
1. Require lengthy time frame
for total implementation and
occupancy.
2. Limit the ability to achieve
multiphased interim occupancy to
satisfy ongoing needs prior to a
total one building project
completion.
3. The scale of one massive
structure may compete with

C. Funding Options
1.. - Public Law 92-313
Under PL 92-313, a "Federal Building Fund (FBF) has
been established in the Treasury into which are deposited
the standard level user charges provided under the act, and
from which construction of public buildings is financed,,'
A Federal Agency identifying. a need for construction of
a public building is required to prepare. its requirements
of the proposed facility and submit them to GSA which,
in its project liaison and implementation role, approves
the project and prepares a prospectus (statement of the
proposed proj-ect). The prospectus is submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval and then to
the committee on Public Works of the Senate and the
House of Representatives for their respective approvals.
When approved by these Committees, the project is placed
as a line item in the GSA budget for the next fiscal
year. Priority of projects is determined by the
Administrator of GSA on the basis of equality of
geographic distribution aid comparative urgency of need.
The GSA budget with the assigned priorities for construction
is submitted to the Appropriations Committees of the House
of Representatives and the Senate for approval and then
approval of appropriation by final enactment as Public
Law by the Congress.

In view of the limited funds available in the FBF,
GSA assigned project priority preogatives, minimal Con-
gressional project appropriations in decending-priority'
order, the disadvantages of competing for priority con-
struction position with lesser dollar value projects of other
agencies, and the extensive uncontrolable timeframe required
for the multifaceted standard approval and appropriations
process realistic timeframe implementation of a new
building program could become more increasingly
difficult to predict and result in almost certain
abnormally l'ngthier timeframes than possibly available
through other- approaches available to the Agency.
