NEW BUILDING ON THE HEADQUARTERS COMPOUND
A major objective of the Agency for many years has been to
consolidate, to the maximum degree possible, personnel and
physical assets on the Langley site. This consolidation almost
became a reality in the late 1950s and early 1960s when the
current Headquarters Building was being planned. The necessity
to divert part of the approved funds to build an extension of the
George Washington Parkway from its then terminus at Spout Run to
Langley defeated this intent. This little known fact caused a
revision in planning, and the Agency remained largely decentralized.
The Agency planning for a new building at Langley has been
underway for the past year. At this time, we have received a
favorable review from the National Capital Planning Commission on
a new Master Plan that includes construction of a 1.1 million
square foot office building, a parking structure, and a security
reception center.
We are now beginning the process of selecting an architectural
and engineering firm to begin detailed building design. Assuming
that we remain on schedule, we will be in a position to award the
design contract by October 1982. $2.8 million is included in the
FY-83 budget to cover the first 12 months of a projected 18 month
design effort. This scheduling would result in a request for
approximately $180 million in FY-84 or FY-85 to complete design and
construction of the project. Beneficial occupancy should then
occur in late FY-87 or FY-88.

Completion of the project would permit consolidation of over
employees at the Headquarters site with a significant
increase in operational effectiveness and savings in operations
and maintenance costs for leases, added security, communications,
and transportation. Additionally, the building is designed to
allow for further growth in machine systems so that dispersion
of employees can be arrested for at least the next decade.
