MEMORANDUM FOR: Administrative Officer, DCI
Chief, Administrative Staff, DD/I
V xecutive Assistant to the DD/O
Executive Officer to the DD/MS
Executive Officer, DD/SE1T
SUBJECT Major Office Alterations and Space Requirements
1. As you are .aware, the Office of Logistics is now in
the process of compiling information on space requirements re-
sulting from the numerous reorganizations that are now either
in process or in the planning stage. Because of the constraints
of time, much of the information which we have received has been
by either word of mouth or hearsay and, therefore, has to be
verified. The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit that
information which pertains to your directorate or unit and have
it verified, added to, corrected or otherwise amended, and re-
turned to the Chief, Logistics Services Division, OL, not later
than 20 September 1973.
2. As a matter of interest, it appears at first blush
that overall there will be about 18 major moves involving at
least 1,500 work stations. Needless to say, it will not be
possible to accommodate all the approved requests for space
in the Headquarters Building unless certain changes and moves
are made; and, therefore, an additional 1,000 work stations
could be involved.
3. In the event your response to this memorandum shows
additional space requirements,. it is essential for our planning
that you identify each potential requirement by specific build-
ing, i.e., Headquarters or other Agency-controlled buildings i:n
the Metropolitan Washington area; because, it's already clear
that we will not be able to satisfy all the requests for space
in the Headquarters Building. Further, if you identify require-
ments other than those listed, please identify the subcomponents
involved, the reasons for the request, the approximate number of
people/stations involved, and whether you expect to satisfy the
requirements from your current holdings or you will need addi-
tional space.

SUBJECT: Major Office Alterations and Space Requirements
4. Because of the recent significant reductions of per-
sonnel, we expect a certain amount of space to be, freed shortly
and later more, as other reorganizations are implemented. To
the extent that we have been made aware of such reorganizations,
the affected space has already been taken into account to meet
other requirements, so it should not be viewed as an opportunity
to spread out. Thus, it may be necessary to freeze any move if
it appears that it will seriously impact on planning which al-
ready is underway.
5. One final note. As you are aware, the office of
Logistics does not normally budget for the costs of moves and
major reconfigurations unless notified of same in sufficient
time to include the items in subsequent fiscal years. Therefore,
since the requirements reflected in the Attachment represent
major, unbudgeted moves or space reconfigurations, each request-
ing component will have to make the necessary funds available
and provide an appropriate fund citation. For your planning
purposes, Attachment 2 is provided as a cost guideline. These
costs are subject to many variables. However, where major al-
terations of an area are required, the figure of $350 per work
station is an approximate average cost. Directorates request-
ing additional space must also ssume the costs involved in
relocating, as a means of freeing space for their requirements,
personnel of another directorate. The Office of Logistics will
provide more refined cost estimates at such time as a firm lay-
out for a specific office area has been developed.
