Facility Requirements of the Air Force Avionics Laboratory. Revision,

Abstract

There are three major facility problems at the Air Force Avionics Laboratory: (1) the Lab people scattered in 12 buildings, some of which are separated by more than a mile and a half. The Laboratory Commander has direct access to his immediate staff, but four of the five division chiefs, 16 of the 22 branch chiefs and 60 percent of the Laboratory's personnel are in other buildings; (2) only about 60 percent of the space designed for laboratory use in Building 620 is being used as laboratory space; (3) it is difficult, time-consuming and very expensive to modify the substandard laboratory space in Building 22 for new research. Four alternatives for alleviating the facilities problems were examined. The first alternative is to take no action other than the moves now planned. The second alternative is to move the Commander, his immediate staff and the one division office from Building 22 to Building 620. The third alternative is to renovate Building 22 as office space and move branches requiring laboratory space out of Building 22 to Building 620. The fourth alternative is to consolidate as many of the Lab's activities as practicable to the area of Building 620. The conclusion of the study can be stated concisely: the mission of the Air Force Avionics Laboratory would be enhanced through the consolidation of as many activities as practicable to the area of Building 620.
