MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
FROM:
SUBJECT:
REFERENCE:
Director of Security
Classroom Space for the Office of Security
in the New Office BuildingF_~
OTE memo, dtd 9 Nov 84, Subj: Classroom Space -
New Building
1. The referenced memorandum (attached) conveys the
response from the Office of Training and Education (OTE) to the
New Building Project Officer regarding Office of Security's
(OS) request for dedicated classroom space in the New Office
Building (NOB). OTE has denied that request.
2. A justification for the request that OS be provided
with a 450 square foot classroom solely for OS use and located
within OS space in the NOB is based on the rationale that OS
can account for the use of that space for every working week of
the year. The classes that must be accommodated on regularly
scheduled intervals include the Special Agents Training Class,
the Security Officers Training Program, Orientation Courses for
the Special Protective Officers, Protective Operations Courses
for the DCI Security Staff, the Survey Course for Overseas
Security Support Branch personnel as well as a number of other
ad hoc courses.F__~
3. OTE has indicated, in referenced memorandum, that the
GA-13 theatre in the Headquarters Buildirig,is dedicated to OS
requirements. Apart from the scheduling needs of the above
mentioned courses, GA-13 is fully scheduled for all but 34
(nonconsecutive) working days of the year. It must be
emphasized that GA-13 is used almost exclusively to service the
needs of the entire Agency population. The events that are
accommodated in GA-13 on regularly scheduled intervals include
the Entry on Duty (EOD) Security briefings for all new
employees which occur on a weekly basis, the Hostile Audio

Surveillance briefings for Agency personnel going PCS abroad,
weekly Foreign Travel briefings conducted by the External
Activities Branch, Security Awareness Briefings for all Agency
personnel, as well as expanded staff meetings for the Office of
Security, and ad hoc requirements for the Special Security
Center, Physical Security Division, the Office of General
Counsel, and other Agency components. It should be noted that
since the 34 days of availability are not consecutive, it is
impossible to schedule any event of longer than one day's
duration in GA-13. The additional 52 weeks of class
requirements, that are described above, sitate the
designation of an additional classroom.'
4. The referenced memorandum indicates that OTE will
provide two classrooms in the NOB for the use of any component
that needs such space. One of these classrooms would have to
be dedicated to OS for the entire year, yet the administration
of the many logistical requirements would have to be provided
by OTE. Most of the classes that OS conducts for its personnel
are "hands on" courses which require use of varied training
materials that should be stored in the classroom area for easy
accessibility to the students. Moving these classes in and out
of OS space, either to another floor or to another building,
would be a difficult process.
5. The referenced memorandum does not adequately address
OS concerns that classroom space requirements can be met by
OTE. The New Building Project Office is currently in the
process of laying out OS space in the NOB. The timing is right
for the architects to include classroom space in that design.
Given OS requirements and the OTE response, it is requested
that the DDA grant the OS request for dedicated classroom space
in the New Office Building.

Chief, Administrative Officer, OTT:
S!TRJErT: Classroom Space - New Ru i l d i nn
1. This is in response to your request that a review be
conducted of the various Agency requests for training space in
the new Headquarters building.
2. Following several discussions withlmos of the
requesters, it is ouite apparent that each o ice would like to
have a designated and separate classroom. However, most
reluctantly understand that there will he insufficient space
available in the new building for every office to have its own
classroom.
3. Purina the review of the requirements it was quite
obvious that the original space requests were well developed, and
looked at present and future requirements for training space (see
memo from the Office of Security). In only one instance have I
questioned the requirement which is hased on the assumption that
the Agency will give up the Ames building. This would result in a
reouirement for space in the Headoiiarters building to administer
the applicant typing and shorthand test. I have not included this
requirement in this package on the assumption that the Agency
will probably continue this recruitment and testing activity in
either Rosslyn or some other location near D1hlie accomodations
and transportation.
4. Another recent development that might assist in meeting
future training space requirements is the availability of certain
facilities The Office of Training and
Education is planning on opening four to six classrooms in Pi
'T'his should allow some fl e x i b i l i t y beyond the
requirements for space in the new Headquarters huilding.
5. The space requirements in the new hiiildinv are based on
the following assumptions:
a. 1A07 will remain an OTT'
designated classroom;
b. GA-13 will remain an Office of Security
designated classroom/meeting area; and
c. all areas currently set aside for part-
time language training and the Self-Study
renter will remain so designated.

SUBJECT: Classroom Space - New Tlu i l d i ng
Considering the foregoing, I believe the following classroom
space requirements in the new building will meet the stated
training space requirements in the new building:
a. Two (2) classrooms covering Approximately
1200 square feet, i.e. 30' x 30', with a
projection booth area located between
the two rooms.
h. Two (2) classrooms covering approximately
500 square feet 20' x 25'. These two rooms
will be completely automated with terminals
to conduct data processing type training for
a number of Agency officers.
c. Ten (in) small rooms (101 x 15') to conduct
the part-time langunge training program in
the Headquarters Area. This program cannot
be conducted outside the Headquarters
building as the students can only he
available for one to two hours at any given
time. There Are between Agency
employees in this program at Any given point
in time.
d. One room of approximately 18n0 square feet
to accomodate the Self Study renter. This
is slightly larger than the space previously
occupied by the renter, hut with the advent
of Computer Rased Training (("RT) we foresee
the need to add to capability in the near
future.
