SUBJECT: Adjacency Study
1. The New Building Project Office has been concentrating on the
development of accurate space requirement statements for Headquarters over the
past 18 months. While this effort will necessarily continue throughout the
life of the project, requirements are not s i iently defined to permit the
next phase of project development to begin.
2. In the next phase, attention will be given to another dimension of the
space assignment process, i.e., the alternatives available for locating or
"stacking" component spaces within the Headquarters complex. Obviously, the
end result show reflect a near-optimum level of efficiency and operational
convenience.
3. As part of the basic research needed to determine the need for
proximity between Offices, you are requested to complete the attached
questionnaire. Basically, we wish to identify the degree of physical
interaction among Agency components. For our purposes, these inter ions are:
meetings and movement of time-critical hard copy correspondence. a 25X1
4. We recognize the potential workload associated with this request and
ask that you simply approximate the magnitude based on experience rather than
attempt to gather actual counts. If there are unique aspects of your operation
which should be noted, attach a short note to the completed questionnaire. 25X1
5. Please complete the attached questionnaire and return it to the New
Building Project Office, Room 4E50 Headquarters by Refer any

Instructions:
1. Fill in the blanks at the top of page with the name of your
office, the date prepared, name of the individual
completing the questionnaire, and a telephone number where
they can be reached.
2. Using the list of Agency Expenditure Centers from pages 79
and 80 of FY 1985 Program Call Book, select the 15
components with which you most often interact. List the
components in priority order with #1 being the component
with which you have the most need for physical contact.
3. From the time periods listed below, select the one that
most closely represents the frequency of interaction and in
the appropriate column above, enter the approximate number
of contacts that occur:
A = contacts every hour
B = contacts every 4 hours
C = contacts every 8 hours
D = contacts every other day
E = contacts every 2 to 3 days
F = contacts every 4 to 5 days or more
