1® The general conclusions of this Study are: 
The NMAC would be more advantageously located in 
Bethesda. 
The over-all space requirements of 106,480 sq. ft, 
programed for 1973 can be reduced to 91,430 sq. ft® 
by consolidation with certain existing activities and 
facilities of the NLM currently duplicated because of 
distance. 
Exclusive of the parking, the cost of expanding in 
Atlanta, or redeveloping in Bethesda, would be approx- 
imately the same, namely $5,900,000, prices as of this 
date • 
The time allowance for planning, construction and 
occupancy should be about four (4) years. 
2, Answering the specific questions: 
Abandonment of the highly specialized installation 
of the NMAC in Atlanta is economically justified. 
Relocation of the NMAC on the limited site of the 
NLM in Bethesda is reasonable, provided the facility 
is integrated with the ’’Proposed New Facility” 
expansion program of the NLM of 1967. CONTENTS

FEASIBILITY STUDY 
1• general 
A. Authorization 
Contract No, PH43-68-767 - entered into on the sixth day 
of October 1967 by the United States Government and 
O'Connor and Kilham, Architects of the City of New York. 
B. Character and Extent of Services 
1 • Project Description 
To survey the current usage, and project the future 
space requirements of the National Medical Audiovisual 
Center (NMAC), and to compare the alternatives of 
retaining the National Medical Audiovisual Center 
(NMAC) at Atlanta, Georgia, or of relocating to the 
National Library of Medicine (NLM), Bethesda, Maryland, 
2, Scope of Work 
A comparative study of the physical requirements and 
estimated cost for: 
a. The relocation of present and projected facilities 
of the National Medical Audiovisual Center (NMAC) 
in a new structure on the National Library of 
Medicine (NLM) site in Bethesda, Maryland, and 
b. The construction of additional facilities, and the 
rehabilitation of existing National Medical Audio- 
visual Center building in Atlanta, Georgia. 
To accomplish the above, a survey of the present 
utilization of space, development of a program of 
requirements, and preparation of schematic plans on 
which cost estimates can be based, was required, 
3• Time of Completion 
One hundred and fifty days from above date of contract, 
extended to April 30, 1968. 2 
4. Purpose 
The initial purpose of this report was to determine i 
a. Whether the abandonment of highly specialized 
installations in Atlanta} costly to replace elsewhere} 
was economically justifiable. 
b. Whether a special purpose facility should be re- 
located on the NLM site in Bethesda where space for 
future development of the NLM is extremely limited. 
C. Background Information 
1. Location 
a. The main facilities of the National Medical Audio- 
visual Center are located within the National 
Communicable Disease Center complex in the suburb 
of Decatur, 7 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, 
Georgia. The Distribution Center, and the Cataloging 
and Special Reference functions are located in a 
temporary building in Chamblee, nine miles away 
(known as Chamblee Annex). 
b. The National Library of Medicine is located on 
Wisconsin Avenue in the southeast corner of the 
National Institutes of Health reservation in Bethesda, 
Maryland, across Wisconsin Avenue from the National 
Naval Medical Center. 
2. Existing Conditions 
a, NMAC (Atlanta) 
In 1961, the National Medical Audiovisual Center, 
then part of the Communicable Disease Center, moved 
into the newly constructed Building No. 3 of the 
National Communicable Disease Center complex on 
Clifton Road in Decatur, Georgia, This 4-story 
building, consisting of 43,800 gross square feet, 
was designed to house all the functions of the 
Medical Audiovisual facility. A substantial portion 
of the building was specifically designed and 
equipped for the production of audiovisuals including 
motion pictures, video tapes, and other audiovisual 
forms. 
By 1966 the building was no longer adequate to meet 
the growing demands of space occasioned by the 
expansion of programs and activities. A temporary 
building was leased in Chamblee, Georgia, consisting 
of 9,100 gross square feet. Acquisition, Retention, 
Distribution, Cataloging and Special Reference 
functions were moved out of the building at Decatur 
and into the Chamblee Annex. At this writing the 
space in the Chamblee Annex is almost completely 
taken up, again, due to continued expansion. 
Effective 1 July 1967 this Audiovisual Facility of 
the Public Health Service became a component part 
of the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda and 
was newly designated the National Medical Audio- 
visual Center. 
b, NLM (Bethesda) 
The present building of the National Library of 
Medicine was first occupied in 1962 as a traditional 
medical library. The Library was formerly the Armed 
Forces Medical Library, first underway in 1836 as 
the Library of the Surgeon General's office. The 
computer-based Medical Literature Analysis and 
Retrieval System (MEDLARS) was installed with 
resulting alterations in 1963. 
The success of the MEDLARS installation as a tool 
of bibliographic research, the enlarged scope of 
collecting activities, and the new and much broader 
responsibilities of the NLM under the Medical Library 
Assistance Act of 1965, created an ever increasing 
demand for space, which currently is being met at 
the expense of space allowed for the basic library 
functions of the NLM and the growth of its collection, 
and by renting commercial space. 
In 1967, a Feasibility Study was prepared on in- 
creasing the floor area of the present building by 
229,800 gross square feet in a new structure to 
house all the NLM activities other than those of the 
traditional medical library. 
3. Present size of NMAC and proposed expansion 
The present National Medical Audiovisual Center employs 
143 persons and occupies a net area of 33,330 square 
feet of usable space (26,880 in Decatur and 7,130 in 
Chamblee). The proposed expansion for the 1973 Program 
projects the employment of 249 staff members and 
106,480 net usable square feet of floor area. 3 
4. Site 
a* Atlanta (Exhibit 1, 
at right). 
The additional space re- 
quired would be acquired by 
an addition to the existing 
Building No. 3. For 
functional and practical 
reasons, the direction of 
the expansion would be to 
the east over existing park- 
ing spaces, which it would 
be necessary to retain. 
Additional parking spacfe 
will require acquisition of 
more land. 
The additional utilities 
required would be provided 
by expanding the existing 
system and central power 
plant as needed. 
NCDC site on outskirts of. Atlanta, Georgia. 
Exhibit 1 4 
b. Bethesda (Exhibit 2, 
at right)• 
The site of the NLM, a part 
of N.I.H., is also very 
limited as to expansion. 
To the west of the existing 
NLM, the present Parking 
Space is reserved for future 
stack expansion. The area 
to the south is earmarked 
for the expansion project 
of 1972, described in the 
above mentioned Feasibility 
Study of 1967. 
This leaves a small site to 
the north of the main 
National Library of Medicine 
parking area, which it is 
proposed to utilize in this 
study. 
The utilities would be an 
expansion of the central 
N.I.H. systems. 
Parking also is critical, 
with no land considered as 
assignable outside the area 
of the NLM site.

F. Criteria & Assumptions 
1. General 
a. Program. Based on the projected requirements of 
the NMAC by FY 1973 - a five year projection. 
b. NLM Program. It is assumed the program for 
additional New Facilities for the NLM (Feasibility 
Study of 1967) will have been completed by 1973. 
c. Future Growth. It is anticipated this new facility 
will be adequate for the needs of the NMAC for 5-10 
additional years. 
d. NIH. At this writing the announcement has been 
made that the NLM will become a component part of 
the National Institutes of Health together with the 
Bureau of Health Manpower. It can only be noted at 
this time that the consolidation may affect the 
organization of the NMAC and may promote a wider 
range of activities, 
e. HS & MHA. It is further noted that the NCDC at 
Atlanta will become part of the newly organized 
Health Service & Mental Health Administration. 
2. Particular to the NLM Site - Bethesda 
a. NLM. The existing building will remain the center 
of basic medical library functions. 
b, NLM Building. The existing NLM will be preserved 
in its architectural integrity as a symbol of the 
NLM. New additions will be connected at lower 
levels with superstructures designed to harmonize 
with the existing building, 
c. "Greenbelt". The existing "Greenbelt" will be 
preserved along the eastern (Wisconsin Ave.) and 
southern border of the NLM site; and no building 
will be permitted in this strip, 
d, NLM Expansion, It is assumed, for the purposes bf 
this study, that the New Facilities for the NLM 
(Feasibility Study of 1967), sometimes referred to 
as the Biomedical Communication Center, will be 
authorized. It is planned for the area south of 
the NLM and connected to it. 
e. NLM Stack Expansion. The parking space west of 
the NLM will continue to be held for future stack 
expansion of the NLM. 
f. NMAC Addition. For the purposes of this study 
only, and to facilitate comparison of the alternate 
proposal for the NMAC to remain at Atlanta, the 
program for the NMAC is being considered as an 
independent addition on the remaining available 
site to the north of the NLM but connected to it 
at lower levels. 
g. Modified Program. Recognizing that certain units 
will be duplicated and that some spaces can be 
shared, the program for the NMAC at Bethesda has 
been reduced accordingly with a resulting saving in 
space requirements. 
h. Integration. It is assumed that, if the conclusion 
from this study is that the NMAC shall move to 
Bethesda, then the program for the NMAC and for the 
New Facilities of the NLM will be reviewed for 
reorganization as a single administration and with 
spaces reallocated for the greatest efficiency. 
The overall amount of space required would, 
presumably, remain the same as that determined for 
the Modified Program, para, g, above. 
i. Utilities. New structures will obtain steam and 
chilled water from the central plant of the N.I.H. 
j. Parking. Additional parking of 170 cars will be 
required on the site for the projected 'personnel 
and visitors of the NMAC. It is proposed at this 
time that this be achieved by an extension of the 
parking structure on the south proposed for the 
"Biomedical Communication Center". 
It is to be noted, however, that with new overall 
reorganization and the developing plans for the 
Fogarty Center in the adjacent area to the north, 
the limitation of locating additional parking only 
on the NLM*s own site may be reconsidered. 
3. Particular to the NCDC Site at Atlanta 
a. Existing Building. Existing Building #3 will be 7 
retained by the NMAC and modified as required for 
its most efficient use. The sound stage, theater, 
laboratories, etc. costly to replace, will retain 
their present function as far as possible. 
b. The relative value of these specialized spaces 
retained, as compared to building them anew in 
Bethesda, is of particular interest, 
c. Additions. Additional space requirements will be 
planned on the NCDC site as an extension of existing 
Building #3, the planning of the combined structure 
organized for the most efficient operation. 
For the purposes of this study only, so that a fair 
comparison may be made with this proposal for the 
NLM site, alternatives will not be considered at 
this time. 
d. Shared Facilities. The use of NCDC facilities 
such as the Cafeteria and the Auditorium will con- 
tinue as at present, but the NCDC is emphatic this 
privilege cannot be granted much longer due to their 
own increasing demands, 
e. Utilities. The new building will obtain steam and 
chilled water for heating and air conditioning 
purposes from the central plant. The latter will 
require new underground lines to the Central Plant 
of the NCDC. 
f. Existing Utilities. Existing utility lines below 
grade to the east of Building #3 - direction of 
proposed expansion - shall not be disturbed. 
g. Traffic. The proposed addition shall not disturb 
the existing traffic circulation pattern of the 
NCDC site. 
h. Existing Parking. Existing parking spaces shall, 
in principle, be retained, with particular reference 
to the space occupied by the new wing, 
i. Additional parking. Surface parking space for 185 
cars will be provided by the acquisition of new 
land by the NCDC with a cost allowance of $44,000 
per acre. 
II. SURVEY 
A, Requirements 
1. Feasibility Study 
"A study of the requirements for, and feasibility of 
constructing new or additional facilities for the 
National Medical Audiovisual Center (NMAC) for the 
purpose of accommodating the total space requirements 
of the present and planned program of the National 
Medical Audiovisual Center in the most efficient 
manner." 
2. Scope 
The scope of the work to be performed is as follows: 
a. "Perform a survey of the utilization of space in 
the present NMAC facilities, including Building #3 
of the National Communicable Disease Center complex 
and the temporary building in Chamblee, Georgia, 
now occupied by NMAC staff. This survey will 
relate broad functional and organizational 
activities to the number of square feet of space 
being utilized for those functions and activities." 
b. "Develop a recommended program of space requirements 
for NMAC for 1973. The program of requirements 
will include the gross and net square feet of space 
required to enable NMAC to carry out the program 
efficiently. 
c. To "develop a schematic plan for construction of 
facilities on the NLM site in Bethesda to meet the 
program of requirements of the NMAC for 1973. Such 
schematic plan must describe how the new facility 
would relate to existing and other proposed 
facilities for the NLM site. It must also describe 
the location of different functional activities 
within the proposed new structure and indicate how 
functional interrelationships have been accommodated 
within the schematic presentation." 
•d. "Develop schematic plans for retaining the NMAC in 
Atlanta. As an alternative to the move to Bethesda 
with recommendations on which functions and 
activities should be located in Building #3 of the 
National Communicable Disease Center complex and 
which should be located in a new facility to be 8 
constructed at an unspecified site in Atlanta. The 
general characteristics of proposed space 
utilization should be described in the schematic 
plans for use of Building #3 and for construction 
of a new facility. The contractor must also 
describe how functional interrelationships among 
NMAC activities have been accommodated within his 
proposed schematic plans." 
e. "Estimate the cost of constructing the facilities 
in para. c. (Bethesda) and para. d. (Atlanta) above 
and the cost of any renovations of Building #3 
required to carry out the schematic plans proposed 
in para. d. above. The cost of site acquisition 
for para. d. above will not be included in the 
estimate." 
f. "Describe the general design characteristics of the 
new facility proposed in para. c. (Bethesda) above, 
subject to the following constraints and other 
considerations: 
1) The location of the facility will be within the 
area contiguous to the NLM considered available 
for this purpose in the Master Plan for the 
National Institutes of Health, The contractor 
will consult with the Chief, Research Facilities 
Planning Branch of the National Institutes of 
Health and take appropriate cognizance of total 
site planning and development for the NIH campus. 
2) The general shape and design characteristics of 
the building must be harmonious with or 
complimentary to the present NLM facility and 
present and planned structures in the immediate 
area. 
3) The dependence of the NLM on the NIH for 
utilities (electricity, chilled water, hot 
water, etc*) must be taken fully into account." 
3. Report 
The analyses and recommendations required above will 
be consolidated in a final report which will contain 
"suitable graphic analyses, diagrammatic sketches, 
line perspectives, and models which effectively 
describe relationships between specific activities and 
the gross space requirements for* those activities*, 
with alternative solutions. The report will also 
contain general construction contract cost estimates 
for each possible solution, based on similar work 
performed elsewhere, but not reflecting precise cost 
estimation techniques usually associated with detailed 
design and specifications.” 
4, Presentation 
The contractor should be prepared "to make suitable 
oral and visual presentations of his findings and 
recommendations to the NLM and interested planning 
groups." 
5. Delivery 
"Delivery under this contract shall be made in two 
stages, as follows: 
a. First delivery will be made not later than one 
hundred days after execution of this contract, and 
shall consist of the descriptive survey required in 
paragraph 1 above, and a preliminary draft report 
concerning the analyses and recommendations 
required in paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, 
b. The second delivery shall be made no later than one 
hundred and fifty days after execution of this 
contract, and shall consist of a final report and 
presentation on all aspects of the study. One 
hundred copies of the report will be provided by 
the contractor." 
Note: This time was extended to April 30, 1968. 
B. Activities of the NMAC 
1. Brief History of NMAC 
a. The NMAC had its beginning early in World War II, 
when the Malaria Control in War Areas program was 
created in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. This 
organization dealt with the training of professionals 
and sub-professionals in a malaria eradication 
program. A motion picture program was created to 
document such typical activities as spraying, ditch 
digging, and larvaciding. 
b. The Malaria Control in War Areas program was soon 
reorganized as the Communicable Disease Center, 
with the broader mission in the total field of 
infectious diseases. 9 
c. As the CDC grew, its audiovisual activities grew 
along with it. It continued as part of the CDC 
training branch program when the CDC moved into its 
new quarters in 1960. 
d. By 1961 it became the Medical Audiovisual Branch of 
the CDC and began to expand to service the demands 
of other components of the Public Health Service. 
e. This trend continued until March of 1963 when the 
Surgeon General designated it the Public Health 
Service Audiovisual Facility whose function was to 
serve as the focal point for the production, 
utilization and distribution of all audiovisual 
forms in support of the mission of the Public 
Health Service and allied Government programs. 
f. Finally, in July of 1967, the Public Health Service 
Audiovisual Facility was renamed the National 
Medical Audiovisual Center and became a component 
of the National Library of Medicine. 
2. Present Organization of the NMAC (See Exhibit 3, page 10 ) 
a. The National Medical Audiovisual Center, as it is 
now constituted, employs a professional and 
technical staff of 143 persons, 
b. It is under the direct administration of The Office 
of the Director - who reports in turn to the 
Director of the NLM. 
c. The present facility is organized in six Sections, 
as hereinafter described, further broken down into 
a total of twenty four Units. 
d. The six Sections are: 
1) Acquisition, Retention and Distribution. 
2) Audiovisual Systems Planning

Exhibit 9# C. Growth of Activities 
1. The Record 
a. The history of the Audiovisual Center indicates a 
steady growth of activities since its beginning as 
the Malaria Control in War Area Program more than 
two decades ago. 
b. The pattern of growth may be exemplified by the 
record of film distribution shown in Exhibit 10, this 
page, 
1) Relatively small and uneven growth in early 
years. 
2) Significant increases beginning 1958. 
3) Growth continued as it moved into its present 
building in 1960, becoming a ’’Branch" of the CDC.. 
4) Growth at an exponential rate since it was 
designated as the Public Health Service Audio- 
visual Facility in 1963. 
c. The growth of activities in earlier years was 
primarily the result of meeting demands of the 
programs of the CDC. As professional and technical 
capabilities advanced, stature gained, and 
facilities improved, demands became greater not 
only from CDC, but more important, from other 
components of the Public Health Service. Today, 
not less than 20% of the NMAC capabilities are 
devoted to CDC activities. 
2. Projected Growth - FY1969 - FY1973 
The establishment of NMAC as a component of the NLM 
anticipates the beginning of a new period of growth, 
characterized not only by the broader contacts of the 
NLM but also by the more efficient and rapid 
dissemination of bio-medical and allied health informa- 
tion by means of the rapidly developing technology of 
communication, together with the specialized education 
and training of the manpower required to use the 
material and equipment effectively. The projected 
growth has been estimated by consideration of these 
factors : 
a. Growth of the traditional NMAC activities as indicated 
by the projected production schedules of the various 
NMAC Sections. Exhibit 11, Page

Exhibit 11 19 
b. "New" activities, relating to education, manpower, 
and communications (some already under way), 
subject to substantial expansion in future programs. 
c. Not taken into consideration in the FY69-73 growth 
figures is the effect on NMAC of the reorganization 
which took place as this report was being written. 
It is not possible to measure the effect at this 
time. The joining of NLM to the National Institutes 
of Health and the Bureau of Health Manpower will 
place additional demands on NMAC for technical 
support of both administrative and program manage- 
ment of these large research and research support 
organizations. This requirement could be greater 
if the facility is located in Bethesda. 
D. Expansion Program FY1973 
1• Space requirements 
a. The projected space requirements in all categories 
as compared with existing usages are presented in 
tabular form in Exhibit 12, pages 20 through 30 
They reflect the expected increase in the 
traditional activities of the NMAC, and sharp 
increases in "new” activities concerned with man- 
power, training, and communications noted above. 
b. A summation indicates that the NMAC will need a 
total of 106,480 net square feet of usable floor 
space by FY1973. This is an increase of 73,470 net 
square feet over the combined total of 34,010 
square feet of NMAC's present space at Decatur and 
the Chamblee Annex. 
2. Percentages of expansion of personnel and space

The spaces required to carry out present and planned 
programs of the NMAC may be classified broadly into 
six categories: 
a. Office spaces - offices, workrooms, conference 
rooms with normal requirements. 
b. Technical spaces - office type work spaces with 
additional power outlets and/or mechanical systems 
to provide for special lighting and/or photographic 
equipment, etc. Examples: Still picture studios, 
Oxberry camera room, etc. 
c. Laboratory space - Work space with special require- 
ments for plumbing, mechanical, electrical and/or 
other services. Examples; Photographic darkrooms, 
chemical mixing room, etc. 
d. Classroom space - Places of assembly for conferences, 
seminars and instructional purposes. 
e. Special Purpose Space - Space specifically designed 
and equipped for special purposes. Examples: 
Silent and sound stages, theaters, etc. 
f. Storage space - (in some instances especially 
conditioned).

E, Transfer of NMAC to NLM - Alternate Locations 
1. Basic Scheme - Relocation in Bethesda on NLM Site. 
a. The Basic Scheme would involve the transfer of the 
entire present and planned operations of the NMAC 
to Bethesda. This would require the construction 
of new facilities on the NLM site to accommodate 
all the activities of the NMAC, 
b. The transfer of the NMAC to Bethesda would result 
in the abandonment of all existing facilities 
established in the Atlanta area. However, the 
space now occupied by the NMAC in Bldg, #3 at 
Decatur is very much needed by the NCDC for expan- 
sion, The latter already have plans prepared for 
conversion of this space to office space immediately 
should it become available.

Exhibit 17 37 
a. The alternate scheme assumes that the NMAC would 
retain the use of its existing facilities in 
Decatur, abandoning the use of the temporary 
building in Chamblee. 
b. It would centralize all its activities by construc- 
tion of new additional space. 
c. It is proposed, herein, to accomplish this in 
Decatur by an addition adjoining its present 
building at the NCDC complex. 
d. On examining the present facilities and the require- 
ments for additional facilities in Decatur, it 
became clear the NCDC site is already too limited 
to meet the overall expansion plans. Whether 
occupied by the expansion of the NMAC or not, 
substantial additions will be made by addition to 
existing building on the NCDC site. 
III. ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT 
A. Basic Scheme - Relocation Bethesda on NLM Site. 
1. Analysis of Conditions 
a. NLM Site (Exhibit 18, page 38 ) 
1) Approximately 23 acres located at the southwest 
corner of the National Institutes of Health 
Reservation on.Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, 
Maryland. 
2) The southernmost access road to NIH Reservation 
forms the northern border of the NLM site. 
3) The ground is generally rolling. From a plateau 
in the northwest quadrant of the site, the 
ground slopes down eastward toward Wisconsin 
Avenue, and southward toward a brook which cuts 
through the property at the location shown. 
4) The present building is located on the high 
point of the site. The front of the building, 
approximately parallel with Wisconsin Avenue, 
sets back some 520 feet. 
5) There is a "greenbelt", established by the NIH, 
to be maintained along the eastern and southern 
boundaries of the site, 250 and 200 feet wide 
respectively. 
6) The present NLM parking area to the west of the 
building is reserved for large scale future 
expansion of bookstack areas. This parking 
area is filled to capacity at present. 
7) NLM visitors1 parking, north of the building, 
is too small for present conditions. 
8) Two general areas are available for building 
expansion on the site. 
a) Area A, south of the building. This was 
selected as the site for the proposed New 
Facility, a major expansion of the NLM, 
covered in the Feasibility Study of 1967. A 
multi-tier parking structure was included. 
b) Area B, only remaining open area on the site 
and considered sufficient in size for the 
present NMAC project. nlm t>if<z, b<z,fh<zed<a, Maryland 
Exhibii / 3 39 
c) Across the access road north of the NLM site, 
the Fogarty Center is planned. Because of 
its proposed auditorium, cafeteria and parking 
areas, its effect on the NLM development 
should be considered. 
3) The simple and monumental basic form of the 
building has become the symbol of the NLM and it 
is desired that the integrity of this aspect be 
maintained in relation to any future expansion. 
4) The present building, designed as a traditional 
medical library, has a total gross area of 
231,855 square feet, 
c. Utilities 
1) Existing utilities, part of the NIH central 
system, are subject to new connections. 
2) Steam and chilled water are in tunnels - 
electricity in conduit. This tunnel runs through 
the available site in connecting to the NLM 
building from the Power Plant. 
3) Water and sewage disposal are public utilities, 
use of which is negotiated for directly by NLM. 
2• Other Programs Affected 
a. The present program of expansion to absorb the NMAC 
into the NLM is in addition to the 1967 program for 
the proposed New Facilities of the NLM, covered by 
the Feasibility Study of that title of 1967. 
b. The 1967 program of expansion provided for the 
expansion of the Medlars space for the enlarged 
scope of collecting activities, the Extra Mural 
Program, the Center for Toxicology Information, the 
development of a sophisticated Graphic Image 
Storage and Retrieval System, the Preservation 
Microfilming Program, the program of Research and 
Development in new systems and techniques relating 
to the intended communication of biomedical 
information. 
c. Although the programs under para. a. and para. b. 
above, as well as those of the traditional medical 
library, are distinct and separate, they nevertheless 
generate activities which require similar types of 
spaces. For example, office spaces, technical 
spaces, laboratory spaces, study spaces, places for 
assembly, space for instruction, special purpose 
spaces, storage space, stack spaces, etc. 
d. In the event the NMAC is transferred to Bethesda, 
it would be desirable to have a broad review of 
b. Present NLM Building (Exhibit 19) 
1) The present building, with one story and 
mezzanine above grade, is a low rectangular, 
horizontal structure, 275 x 190 feet in plan, 
sheathed in select grey Indiana limestone with 
marble and granite trim. The center section is 
crowned by a quadri-partite concrete shell 
structure over the attic story which forms a 
base. The shell covers over the high central 
catalog area. The base structure houses the 
mezzanine office level as a balcony overlooking 
the card catalog cases. 
2) There are three stack levels below grade. The 
service entrance faces a sunken service court at 
the north end of the building at the top stack 
level• 40 
both the programs of expansion under consideration 
before embarking on detailed planning of any part 
of the new facilities. In the meantime, certain 
assumptions have to be made for the purpose of the 
present study. 
3. Assumptions for this Study 
a. Existing NLM building would remain as the Center 
for programs and activities of a traditional medical 
library. 
b. Proposed facilities for Medlars, Research and 
Development of Communications, center for Toxicology 
information, Drug Literature and Extra Mural 
Program, etc., would be provided for in a projected 
addition to the existing building. For the purpose 
of this study, this addition would be to the south 
and west of the existing building, as recommended 
in the 1967 Feasibility Study. 
c. It is assumed that the proposed new facilities for 
the NMAC would be housed in a separate building on 
the site to the north and west of the existing 
building. A connecting link would provide easy 
communication between buildings on and below grade. 
d. All new structures would be designed in harmonious 
relationship to the existing NLM which it is 
desired shall remain as a district architectural 
symbol of the NLM, Together, however, they should 
express physical unity of a single institution. 
e. Increased parking facilities for the additional 
staff and visitors, based on the NIH criteria, 
would have to be provided on the NLM site. (With 
the new overall reorganization it would be hoped 
the parking could be re-studied later together with 
the Fogarty Center.) 
4. Types of Spaces 
a. The relocation of the facilities of the NMAC in a 
connecting building on the NLM site would permit: 
1) The centralization of administrative services. 
2) The centralization of public information and 
publication services. 
3) The centralization of cataloging work area and 
special reference services, 
4) Sharing of conference rooms and instructional 
spaces, and 
5) The use of stack expansion space for interim 
storage purposes. 
b. It would be expected that the above adjustments of 
requirements would result in a small decrease in 
the required personnel, greater operating efficiency, 
greater convenience to the public, more intense use 
of facilities, good interim use of stack expansion 
space, and a decrease in the program for new 
construction for the NMAC. 
c. All the basic categories of spaces outlined in para. 
II. E, 2, would be required in the new building for 
NMAC - Offices, Technical Spaces, Laboratory Spaces, 
Classroom or Instructional Spaces, Special Purposes 
Spaces and Storage Space. The amount of each type 
required, however, would be modified as described 
in the following paragraphs. 
5. Adjustments of NMAC Expansion Program 
a. The adjustment of the NMAC Expansion Program result- 
ing from the move of its facilities to Bethesda, 
would reduce the total space requirements for FY1973 
by 15,050 net square feet. (Reduction from 106,480 
square feet to 91,430 square feet). A breakdown 
of the adjustments by Sections is shown on Exhibit 
20, page 41 . The hatched areas represent the 
amount of spaces now in Atlanta devoted to the 
activities of various Sections. The blank areas to 
the right represent proportionately the projected 
additions required by FY1973. Areas to the right 
of the arrows denote, also in scale, the reduction 
in space requirements if NMAC facilities should be 
located on the NLM site. 
b. A detailed discussion of program adjustment within 
the office of the Director and the various Sections 
follow: 
1) Office of the Director (Exhibit 14, page 33 ) 
a) Duties of such specialists as the Associate 
for Biomedical Communication and the Manage- 
ment Analyst would be performed by those in 
the parent organization. Reduction of 350 
net square feet. A office of ns director

b) Administrative service staff - payroll, 
accounting, etc, would be merged with those 
in the parent organization. Small expansion 
within existing building, but reduction of 
800 net square feet in new building. 
c) Separate mail room not required. Reduction 
of 300 net square feet, 
d) Use of conference rooms in existing NLM 
building would reduce NMAC requirements by 
one large conference room. Reduction of 
440 square feet. 
e) Information and publication office would be 
merged with similar NLM Functions. Possible 
small increase in requirements within the 
existing NLM building, but a reduction of 
930 net square feet in the projected new 
building. 
f) Extensive storage requirements could be 
fulfilled by the interim use of stack expansion 
space in FY1973, a reduction of 5,200 square 
feet. (On the assumption that before FY1973, 
all activities in the present NLM building, 
other than those of a traditional medical 
library, would have been moved into new

Study)• 
g) A total reduction of 8,020 net square feet. 
2) Audiovisual Systems Planning Section 
(Exhibit 14, page 33 ) 
a) Reduction of one conference room, 200 square 
feet. 
b) Use storage space in NLM building. Reduction 
of 750 square feet in new building. 
c) A total reduction of 950 net square feet. 
3) Cataloging and Special Reference Section 
(Exhibit 15, page 34 ) 
All activities of this Section would be merged 
with similar activities in the existing building, 
permitting a reduction in the program of the 
entire 2580 net square feet scheduled for this 
activity. (Still on the assumption that by 
FY1973 the Medlars operation will have been 
moved into new quarters as recommended in the 
1967 Feasibility Study)• 
4) Education Studies and Development Section 
(Exhibit 16, page 35 ) 
a) Use of conference rooms in existing NLM 
building and projected expansion would reduce 
requirements of this Section by two 15-seat 
conference rooms and two 25-seat classrooms. 
Reduction of 1900 square feet. 
b) Use of study carrels and group study areas 
in existing NLM building would reduce NMAC 
requirements by 1625 square feet. 
c) A total reduction of 3525 net square feet. 
5) Motion Picture and Television Section 
(Exhibit 17, page 36 ) 
a) Use of existing Board Room in the existing 
NLM building would eliminate one of the two 
Preview Theaters programmed for FY1973. 
Reduction of 600 square feet. 
b) There would be space in the existing film 
vault on "C" level of the NLM to house 
requirements of the NMAC. Reduction of 350 
square feet for the new NMAC building. 
c) A total reduction of 950 net square feet. 
6. Schematic Plans 
a. Design Considerations 
1) Due to having reached their limits on population 
and parking space no further sites will be 
available to the NLM within the grounds of the 
NIH. 
2) Due to the limited area remaining on the land 
previously assigned to the NLM both the expansion 
program of 1967 and the present NMAC program 
will require multi-story buildings, 
3) The additional parking required by the NMAC must 
be provided for on the site. 43 
4) As in the 1967 study it would seem that a tower 
structure with quiet lines, together with the 
tower proposed in the 1967 study, would provide 
a "setting” for the existing NLM building and 
would be preferable to a low massive building 
that would compete with it. Towers would also 
permit a feeling of space between the buildings 
not possible with a low structure. 
5) The advantages of a low structure would be the 
large floor areas at any level permitting, in 
principle, a desirable main floor location, for 
example, for such items as the Distribution 
Center, the Auditorium, the sound stages and 
the set fabrication shop. 
6) Long span elements such as the sound stages of 
the auditorium for economic reasons are prefer- 
ably located under the roof which tends to favor 
low structures. 
b. Site Considerations (Exhibit 21, page 44 ) 
1) Within the site available for this project (to 
the northwest of the existing NLM Building) the 
level designated as "A" level in relation to 
the existing building is considered the "main" 
floor because it is on the level with the exist- 
ing service yard which would be shared and it is 
a level permitting through connection to the 
existing building. 
2) The existing utility tunnel carrying steam and 
chilled water lines to the NLM from the Central 
Power Plant runs through the site from west to 
east. For economic reasons it would be desirable 
to keep the new building to one side of this line. 
3) It is possible to "bridge" the utility tunnel 
at "B" level. 
4) From previous experience in the construction of 
the NLM Building - rock may be expected between 
"B" and "C" levels. 
c. Building Plans 
1) Assumed Scheme (Exhibits 22, 23, 24, and 24A, 
pages 45, 46, 48, and at right). 
Scale model of NLM - Basic Scheme, Exhibit 24A 
a) For the purpose of this Study and for budget 
estimating purposes, a building seven stories 
above ground "A" level, (1st through 6th 
floors) and two stories below ("B" and "C" 
levels) is proposed. The building would be 
linked to the main NLM building on and below 
grade as shown in the plans. 
b) The proposed addition would have 153,600 
gross square feet, generating a net useable 
space of 91,430 square feet. 
c) The typical floors above grade would have 
about 15,400 gross square feet each. The 
floors below grade would each have approximately 
19,700 square feet. (The floors below grade 
were made larger to achieve more functional 
distribution of space). 
2) MAM Level - Ground Floor (Exhibit 21, page 44 ) 
a) A main entrance would be provided for the 
NMAC addition off the main NIH access road to 
the north. A separate entrance is considered 44

desirable for staff and visitors of NMAC not 
directly concerned with library activities 
out of the existing NLM building. 
b) From the lobby, a staff member not working on 
this level, would take an elevator to one of 
the other floors. Visitors would take the 
elevator to the main reception area on the 
floor above (1st Floor). Conferees attending 
classes, seminars and other programs, could 
walk down one flight of stairs to the level 
below ("B" level) where meeting rooms, class- 
rooms and the auditorium would be located. 
c) The new building would be connected to the 
present NLM building by a new covered loading 
dock connecting the southeast corner of the 
new addition to the northwest corner of the 
present building, where the service entrance 
is now located. 
d) The present service court would be enlarged 
and would also serve the new addition. 
c) An industrial elevator large enough for a 
small truck would bring material, equipment, 
and sets to the motion picture and TV studios 
on the upper floors. 
f) A garage for the mobile TV units is provided 
at grade level. 
g) The Distribution Unit would occupy this level, 
with the Distribution Center opening directly 
on the loading dock. 
3) "B" Level (Exhibit 23, page 46 ) 
a) An easy stair from the main lobby at the "A" 
level would bring the visitor down to the 
lobby of "B" level. This level would contain 
the main body of the classroom and instruction 
spaces. 
b) The 300-seat auditorium would have stepped 
floor and high ceiling. 
c) Since all the classrooms and auditorium would 
be designed for optimum use of audiovisuals, 
not requiring daylight, they are at an advantage 
below grade. 
4) "C" Level (Exhibit 23, page 46 ) 
a) This level would house the Archives Unit, 
both the Motion Picture Archive and the Still 
Picture Repository. 
b) A connection could be made to the "C" level 
stack space of the NLM. This would permit 
future expansion of the Archive Unit, as well 
as present communications. 
c) Other facilities on this level might include 
classroom support space, general storage and 
mechanical equipment for the building. 
5) 1st Floor (Exhibit 22, page 45 ) 
a) The official reception area for the NMAC 
would be on this floor with the Office of the 
Director. 
b) Other occupants could include the offices of 
the Education Studies and Development Section 
and part of the Audiovisual Systems Planning 
Section. 
6) 2nd Floor (Exhibit 22) 
a) The 2nd floor could house the Facilities 
Design Unit of the Audiovisual Systems 
Planning Section, and the entire Graphic and 
Photographic Arts Section. 
b) This and the other floors above, which would 
be devoted to Motion Picture and Television 
Production, might be considered as "production” 
floors where visitors would be restricted. 
7) 3rd Floor (Exhibit 22) 
a) The 3rd floor could house the administrative 
offices of the Motion Picture and Television 
Section, the producers, directors, writers, 
film editors, and the motion picture laboratories. 
8) 4th and 6th Floors (Exhibit 22) 
a) The 4th and 6th floors would house the Motion 
Picture and TV stages, control rooms, set 
storage and fabrication. 48

9) 5th Floor (Exhibit 22) 
a) The 5th floor would contain support spaces 
with accessible ducts, conduits and wiring 
for the stages above and below, such as camera 
and equipment storage, equipment maintenance 
area, dressing rooms, etc. 
b) This floor would also house audio and video 
recording offices, studio and laboratories, 
etc. 
10) Pent House 
The Pent House would house the mechanical 
equipment for the building, 
7. Future Expansion 
a. Horizontal Expansion 
Under present conditions, there would not be much 
space on the site for horizontal expansion of the 
NMAC beyond FY1973. One possibility would be to 
add a wing to the south along the west face of the 
building, completing the short leg of an "L". 
(Exhibit 21, page 44 ). If carried to the same 
height, this extension might add 50,000 gross square 
feet. 
b. Vertical Expansion 
Vertical expansion is generally costly and less 
practical in many respects. In the present case, 
consideration might be given to "overbuilding" at 
the outset, assigning the space temporarily to 
other government departments, and then gradually 
expanding within the structure. 
c. Off-site Parking 
If off-site parking for NLM staff and visitors 
should ever become possible, more land space on the 
site would become available for building expansion. 
d. Facilities off NLM site 
The pressure for space within the NIH itself has 
forced the Public Health Service to plan on moving 
a great deal of its activities to two new 15-story 
office building in Rockville, to be completed by 
1970. Such a move should tend to relieve the space 
requirements on the NIH reservation to a consider- 
able extent, and would open the possibility of 
moving certain NLM activities, such as the extra- 
mural program, into the vacated space. 
B. Alternate Scheme - Expansion in Atlanta on NCDC Site. 
1. Analysis of Conditions 
a. NCDC Site (Exhibit 25, page 51 ) 
1) Approximately 20 acres located at the south side 
of Clifton Road in Decatur, Georgia, a few yards 
west of the intersection with Houston Mill Road 
Extension. 
2) Main access to the site is on Clifton Road which 
is a busy thoroughfare, traffic being very 
heavy during the morning and afternoon rush hour. 
3) The ground is high on the Clifton Road side and 
drops down sharply away from the road towards 
the south. 
4) There are seven buildings on the site in the 
NCDC complex. The NMAC occupies Building #3, the 
west end of which is attached to Building #1, 
the main building. 
5) Surface parking for about 700 cars fill up 
practically all the open space on the site. 
Parking is at present considered very inadequate 
for the 2000 persons employed at th£ Center. 
Plans are under way at present to add 24 more 
spaces immediately north of Building #3. 
6) There is no room for building expansion around 
Building #1 and #3, except by either displacing 
much needed parking spaces, or building over 
them on stilts. 
b. Present NMAC Building (Exhibit 26, page 50 ) 
1) Building #3 is a 4-story red and tan brick 
structure, approximately 1021 x 135* in plan, 
with its west wall attached to Building #1 of 
NCDC. On the north side, only two top stories 
are above grade, while on the south all stories 
are above grade. Outwardly, it appears as an 
attachment on Building #1. 50 
part of NCDC, it has certain shortcomings, such 
as the lack of a suitable main entrance as well 
as service entrance, the undersize elevator, the 
lack of windows in offices, the inadequate 
ventilation system for the stages, the lack of 
set storage and fabrication space, etc. 
5) The building was not designed to take additional 
stories. When a mezzanine floor was added over 
the silent stage, the columns supporting the new 
floor had to be reinforced through to the 
footings. 
6) There is a total of 26,880 net square feet of 
usable space in Building #3, divided as follows 
by: 
Office of the Director 4,350 net sq.ft. 
Audiovisual Systems 
Planning Section 420 net sq.ft. 
Educational Studies and 
Development Section 1,670 net sq.ft. 
Graphic & Photographic 
Arts Section 4,970 net sq.ft. 
Motion Picture and 
Television Section 15,470 net sq.ft. 
Total 26,880 net sq.ft. 
The net usable space is generated from a gross 
building area, including mechanical rooms, of 
43,150 square feet. 
The ratio of net to gross area is approximately 
60%. 
c. Utilities 
1) The central plant for steam and chilled water is 
in Building #4 (Exhibit 25, page 51 ). 
2) The electric substation is south of Building #4. 
3) Sanitary sewer, storm sewer, cold water line, 
fire line, and high pressure gas line, run 
north and south along a 30-foot wide strip 
immediately east of Building #3. 
Present NMAC (Building #3, NCDC site) Exhibit 26. 
2) The only direct entrance to the NMAC from the 
outside is a very modest one on the low side 
(the sub-sub basement level) which also acts as 
the service entrance. Visitors to the NMAC at 
present would have to come through Building #1 
via the Reception Area of the NCDC on the first 
floor, some 200 feet away. 
3) The building contains a sound stage and a silent 
stage (both with 3-story high ceiling and cat- 
walks) space for audio and videa tape transfer, 
a Sound Recording Theater, a newly completed 
modern Preview Theater, laboratories for motion 
picture and still pictures, facilities for photo- 
micrography, regular graphic and photographic 
arts workrooms, offices, conference rooms, work 
spaces, etc. The building is well equipped for 
full motion picture and television production, 
as well as for its other professional and 
technical missions. (The equipment is said to 
be worth $1,400,000). 
4) Although the building was specifically designed 
for the many special purposes of the NMAC, then W(KlTAe.V

Exhibit 52 
d. Other NCDC Facilities 
1) Cafeteria 
Building #2 contains a 320-seat cafeteria, use 
of which is extended to employees of NMAC at 
present. The continuance of this privilege will 
not be long continued due to the requirements of 
the NCDC’s own substantial expansion program, 
2) Classroom and Auditorium Space. Building #2 
contains two auditoria (400 and 200 seats) and 
three proto-type audiovisual classrooms. These 
facilities are heavily used by NCDC, Under 
special conditions, NMAC may arrange for their 
use, but not on a regular basis. In other words, 
these facilities cannot be counted to serve 
NMAC’s projected educational program. 
2. Other Programs Affected 
a. NCDC Expansion Plans 
1) Need for a total of 50,000-60,000 net square 
feet of additional office space. If NMAC should 
move to Bethesda, the NCDC would plan to take 
over Building #3 and convert it to approx. 40,000 
net square feet of office space. If NMAC should 
decide to remain in Atlanta, an equal amount of 
new office space would have to be built elsewhere 
on the site. Balance of the office space needs 
would be met by adding a new wing on Building #1, 
parallel, and at the same height as the present 
new wing. 
2) New 10-story high laboratory buildings west of 
present Buildings #4 and #5 on new land to be 
acquired. 
3) Additional surface parking space, or parking 
structure, to meet the needs of substantial 
increase in staff personnel. (New land would 
have to be acquired for surface parking). 
4) Expansion of other support facilities such as 
cafeteria, etc. 
b. NMAC Expansion on Site 
1) Expansion of the NMAC projected facilities on 
the present site would reduce further the amount 
of expansion space available to NCDC. 
2) It would add to parking requirements. 
3) It would place greater demands on support 
facilities such as the central utility plant, 
the cafeteria, etc. 
3. Assumptions for this Study 
a. NMAC would continue to use Building #3 in the most 
effective way, 
b. For maximum efficiency of operation, all present 
and projected NMAC activities should be in one 
locality, 
c. To maintain functional relationships, expansion 
should be by an addition to the present NMAC building 
#3. 
d. Special Purpose Spaces, Laboratory Spaces, and other 
spaces that would be costly to recreate, would be 
retained in the existing building as much as possible 
e. Present parking areas, road systems, etc. would be 
substantially unchanged, 
f. Parking requirements of the NMAC would be met by 
providing one hundred and eighty five (185) new 
parking spaces on adjacent property, to be acquired 
by NCDC at a cost allowance of $44,000 per acre. 
g. Steam and chilled water required by the new structure 
would come from the central plant. 
h. To harmonize with the existing physical environment, 
the new structure would be finished in brick. 
i. Since NMAC is now organizationally independent of 
NCDC, the building should have its own identity 
and its own main entrance. Preferably, the new 
addition should be easily visible from Clifton Road. 
4. Types of Spaces Involved 
a. All the basic types of spaces outlined in para. 
II. E. 2. would be required to provide for the 
present and projected needs of NMAC. They are 
offices, technical spaces, laboratories, classrooms, 
instructional spaces, special purpose spaces, and 
storage spaces. 53 
b. The criteria to be followed in deciding which 
facilities would be retained in the existing 
building and which would be provided in a new 
building, would be determined as follows: 
1) Special purpose spaces and laboratory spaces 
would be retained in the existing building as 
far as possible since the special utilities 
are in place and it would be more costly to 
install them elsewhere. 
2) Office spaces, preferring windows, would be 
provided in the new building, as far as 
functional relationships would permit, 
3) Classroom spaces requiring long spans and new 
audiovisual capabilities would be more 
economically provided for in the new building, 
4) Storage spaces could be in either building, 
5) A distinctive entrance to the NMAC is more 
readily provided in a new structure. 
5. Adjustment of NMAC Expansion Program 
a. As indicated in paragraph II. E. 1. a. the total 
space requirements to meet the needs of present 
and planned program of the NMAC by FY1973 is 
estimated at 106,480 net square feet of usable 
floor space. This requirement would be met by 
utilizing the existing spaces in Building #3 as 
efficiently as possible, by adding and altering 
spaces in the existing building, and by construct- 
ing a new addition. 
b. After consideration of all related factors, the 
following breakdown seemed reasonable: 
1) Existing building 26,880 net sq.ft. 
2) Additional space in existing 
building obtained by flooring 
over certain high ceiling spaces 2,100 net sq.ft. 
3) Total in existing building 28,980 net sq.ft, 
I 
4) New addition 77,500 net sq.ft. 
5) Grand Total 106,480 net sq.ft. 
(It was noted in actual planning, a total of 29,320 
net square feet was required in the existing building 
to provide for facilities requiring a total of only 
23,980 net square feet in the program. This is 
largely the result of fitting into existing spaces 
in the building that approached the requirements of 
the Program without making major alterations),

6, Schematic Plans 
a. Design considerations 
1) The shortage of space on the NCDC site would 
require that a new addition on the site be a 
multi-story structure, 
2) Insufficient land around the present stages 
would make it necessary to locate the new stages 
for motion picture production on a level above 
the present stage level, and to rely on an 
industrial type elevator for service. 
3) The desirability of retaining existing parking 
spaces on the site of the new wing would suggest 
a building on stilts, 
4) The final structure would preferably have an 
identity of its own to express its own character 
and purpose as distinct from that of the NCDC, 
b. Site Considerations (Exhibit 27, page 55 ) 
1) If the proposed structure is placed over the two 
parking terraces east of the existing Building 
#3, the existing access road and remaining park- 
ing area would permit a direct entrance to the 
building on the north facing Clifton Road. The 
lowest floor level would be set high enough to 
permit parking on grade under the building. 
2) Examination of test boring information on adjacent 
area would indicate that rock might be expected 
12 to 15 feet below the ground surface. 
3) To avoid present utility lines east of the exist- 
ing building, it is assumed that the new addition 
would be located approximately 30 feet away from 
the east wall of Building #3. 
c. Schematic Plans - New Building 
1) Assumed Scheme (Exhibits 27, 29, 30, 31 & 31A 
on pages 55,57,58,59, and at right), 
a) For the purpose of this Study and for budget 
estimating, the scheme proposed would assume 
a 6-story building on stilts, located 30 feet 
away from the east wall of Building #3 and 
over the 2 parking terraces. The two lower 
floors of the new building would be linked to 
the Basement and 1st Floor of Building #3. 
Location of New Building - Alternate Scheme, Exhibit 31A 
b) Two new elevators would be installed at the 
southeast corner of present Building #3. 
These elevators would run from the sub-sub- 
basement level of Building #3 to the 6th 
Floor of the new building and linked to each 
floor of new building by a inclosed passage. 
The larger of the two elevators would be an 
industrial type for the exclusive use of the 
Motion Picture Production Section in connec- 
tion with the new sound stages on the top 
floor of the new addition. The smaller 
elevator would serve the Film Distribution 
Center in the new building, as well as act as 
general purpose freight elevator. 
c) The proposed new addition would have a gross 
area of 130,200 square feet, generating a net 
usable space of 77,500 square feet. Links to 
the existing building would total 6,500 gross 
square feet in addition. 
d) The overall dimensions of the typical floor 
were assumed to be approximately 130* x 155*. 
The area per typical floor, not including 
link to the existing building, would be about 
20,000 square feet. «4HIT*RY 56W£*

2) First Floor (Exhibit 28, page 56 ) 
a) The First Floor would house the Auditorium, 
classrooms, and Conference Rooms required for 
the NMAC educational programs. The conferees 
would be able to enter the building from the 
main entrance a few steps up from grade. An 
open stair would take them to study facilities 
on the Second Floor. Their activities would 
be restricted to these two floors. 
b) Staff Members entering the building would 
reach their destination via the new elevators, 
or cross the connecting link to existing 
Building #3. 
c) The auditorium and the large classroom would 
have stepped floors and high ceilings. See 
Section B, Exhibit 29, page 57. 
3) Second Floor (Exhibit 28, page 56 ) 
a) This floor is shown connected to the existing 
building by a bridge across the roof of the 
present silent stage. It is connected to the 
first floor by an open stair as described 
above. Office space for the Educational Studies 
and Development Section would be located on 
this floor as well as study spaces for the 
conferees. 
b) The entire Audiovisual Systems Planning Section 
could very well be located on this floor, 
4) Third Floor - Director's Office (Exhibit 28) 
5) Fourth Floor (Exhibit 28) 
a) The Film Distribution Center would be 
connected by elevator to the service entrance 
south of existing Building #3. 
b) The Cataloging and Special Reference Section, 
or other activities could occupy the balance 
of this floor. 
6) Fifth Floor (Exhibit 29, page 57 ) 
a) The Acquisition Unit, including the Motion 
Picture Archives and the Still Pictures 
Repository, would be located on this floor. 
b) The remaining office space on this floor 
could house the Chief of the Motion Picture 
and TV Section, writers, as well as the Chief 
of Graphic Arts Unit, etc. 
7) Sixth Floor (Exhibit 29) 
a) This floor would house a new Silent Stage, 
two new Motion Picture Sound Stages, and part 
of set and equipment storage. 
b) This floor would be connected to the service 
entrance on the sound stage level of the 
existing building by an industrial type 
elevator large enough for a small truck. 
8) Penthouse 
The Penthouse would house the mechanical equip- 
ment for the building.

The following criteria would be followed for the 
rehabilitation of existing Building #3; 
a) Special purpose spaces, laboratory spaces, 
and other spaces with fixed requirement are 
retained as much as possible, consistent 
with functional arrangement as a whole. 
b) Expansion of a given facility is provided in 
horizontally adjoining spaces, if possible, 
vertically if necessary. 
c) Functions are fitted into existing or newly 
subdivided rooms where space requirements are 
close. Relocation of existing partitions are 
avoided as much as possible. 
2) Assumed Rehabilitation Scheme (Exhibits 32A, 33A, 
34A, and 35A, on pages 63, 65, 67, and 69). 
For the purpose of this Study, and cost estimation, 
the above Exhibits show a plan for rehabilitation 
of the existing building to tie in functionally 
with the proposed new addition described under C 
above. 61 
3) Sub-sub Basement Level - Compare Exhibits 32 
and 32A, on pages 62 and 63, 
a) Present Sound Stage (SSB-25) would be used 
for TV producxion. 
b) The entire present silent stage area (SSB-3) 
would be devoted to Set Fabrication and 
Storage. The ceiling of the entire area would 
be lowered by extending the floor of the video 
taping area on the level above. 
c) The present set fabrication shop (SSB-2) with 
its overhead door, could be enlarged to serve 
the projected Mobile TV Units. 
d) Equipment Maintenance and Repair might remain 
in its existing space SSB-37 and expand into 
SSB-36, SSB-30, SSB-28, SSB-18, and SSB-20. 
e) Rooms SSB-7, SSB-8, SSB-14 and SSB-33 could 
be used to meet part of the vastly expanded 
Video Taping space needs. 
4) Sub-Basement - Compare Exhibits 33 and 33A, 
pages 64 and 65, 
a) Present Video Taping area (SB27C) would be 
extended by flooring over the silent stage. 
b) Rooms SB27B, SB29A and the Re-Record Theater 
(SB-29B) would continue as at present for 
Sound Recording. Expansion would take place 
on the floor immediately above in Rooms B-31, 
B-19 and B-29, the additional space gained by 
flooring over the Re-Record Theater. An 
existing interior stair would connect the two 
floors. 
c) All the existing Still Photographic Studios 
and Laboratories would be retained on this 
floor. Expansion would take in adjoining 
areas SB-19A, SB-25, SB-25A, SB-21, SB-22, 
SB-22B, SB-22C, SB-22D, SB-22E and SB-22G, 
SB-22H, SB-22J, SB-16 and SB-16A. 
5) Basement Level - Compare Exhibits 34 and 34A, 
on pages 66 and 67, 
a) Additional space could be gained by flooring 
over the present Silent Stage on the second 
balcony level, lining up with the Basement 
Level of the existing building. With a link 
to the 1st Floor of the new addition, the 
space thus gained could be used for the 
Graphic and Photographic Arts Teaching Labs 
and Teaching TV and Film Studio in connection 
with the new education program. 
b) Sound Recording area would be in B-29, B-31 
and B-19 as noted above. 
c) Motion Picture Laboratory Area would occupy 
much of this Floor. 
d) Remaining spaces (B-13, B-15, B-15A, and B-15B) 
might serve the Animation and Special Effect 
Units. 
6) 1st Floor - Building #3 - Compare Exhibits 35 
and 35A, pages 68 and 69. 
a) The present Preview Theater would be retained 
and a new one added. (Space 149), 
b) The new Film Vault would be constructed in 
connection with a proposed link to the new 
addition over the roof of the present Silent 
Stage. 
c) The remaining floor would be renovated for 
the Motion Picture Producers, Editors, etc. 
7. Future Expansion 
a. The prospect of expansion beyond the FY1973 program 
on the NCDC site is limited for several reasons : 
1) NCDC itself would be growing during*the same 
period, and would need space for buildings and 
parking. 
2) NCDC site is limited in size and is already in- 
adequate unless surface parking can be converted 
to parking structures. 
3) Only about 8 acres of land would be available 
for purchase in adjoining areas. Since Emory 
University owns most of the adjacent land 
immediately west of the Houston Mill Road 
Extension, the prospect would be poor for 
expansion in this direction. 62

4) Expansion by building over 
existing parking areas as 
presently considered, is 
basically uneconomical. A 
continuance of this type of 
expansion would hardly seem 
justified. 
5) Provision could be made to 
extend the building vertic- 
ally, but it would also be 
costly and means committing 
the NMAC to plans made before 
the conditions that would 
affect them are known, 
b. It would, therefore, seem that 
the possibility for future expan- 
sion of NMAC would lie with the 
following eventualities; 
1) More land acquired. 
2) Parking concentrated in high- 
rise parking structures. 
3) NCDC gives up space in 
adjacent building due to re- 
location and changes. 
c. The other alternative for NMAC 
beyond FY1973 would be to move 
entirely, or in part, off the 
present site.

4) Transportation and other advantages in Bethesda, 
as a result of being a suburb of the Nationfs 
Capital. 
5) Convenient to national and international visitors. 
(12 miles from National Airport) 
2. Existing Physical Conditions 
a, Basic Scheme - Bethesda 
1) Existing NLM site in approximately 23 acres in 
area, including the "Greenbelt11 area, 
2) Present NLM building, built in 1962, with a 
gross area of 231,855 square feet, now covers 
1,2 acres of the site, 
3) The balance of the site is inside the ’’Greenbelt” 
and presently utilized, or assigned, as follows: 
a) Road and Parking 2,5 acres 
b) Front yard inside of ’’Greenbelt” 4,9 acres 
c) Land tentatively assigned for 
expansion of NLM building and 
parking through Proposed New 
Facility - 1967 Feasibility Study 
(Biomedical Communications Center) 4.4 acres 
4) Remaining land available to mee the 
building and parking requirements 
of NMAC 1.7 acres 
5) Rock would be expected at elevation 315*, 
approximately 15 feet below grade on the 
assumed site, 
6) Steam, chilled water and electricity, part of 
the NIH central system, would be subject to 
new connections. 
7) Water, sanitary and storm sewer lines would be 
connected to the street, 
(Continue on Page 74, col, 1) 
2, Existing Physical Conditions 
b. Alternate Scheme - Atlanta 
1) Existing NCDC site in Decatur is approximately 
20 acres in area. 
2) Present utilization of the NCDC site is as 
follows; 
NMAC (Building #3) ,4 acres 
NCDC Buildings 4,0 acres 
Parking and Road System 10,2 acres 
Front Yards 4.0 acres 
Space for surface expansion 
of building and parking 1.4 acres 
3) Expansion of the NMAC is assumed to take 
place in the air space over existing 
parking areas east of Building #3, 
4) Rock suitable for support of concentrated 
column loads would be expected from 12 to 
15 feet under the surface of the assumed 
site, 
5) Steam, part of the NCDC central system, would 
be subject to new connection, 
6) Chilled water and electric lines would be 
connected to NCDC central utility plant 
(Building #6), 
7) Water, and sanitary sewer lines would be 
connected to city mains in street. 
(Continue on Page 74, col, 2) 74 
BASIC SCHEME 
ALTERNATE SCHEME 
3. Organization and Operations 
a0 Basic Scheme - Bethesda 
1) Relocation of NMAC on the NLM site would be 
consistent with the latest announced reorgan- 
ization plans of incorporating NLM, and the 
Bureau of Health Manpower into the expanded 
National Institutes of Health. 
2) The uniting of the physical facilities of the 
NMAC with those of NLM would centralize all 
facilities for national health communications 
in one location,, 
3) The move would bring greater unity to the NLM, 
and afford closer qooperation among its 
components, and the National Institutes of 
Health. 
4) The move would tend to increase efficiency of 
operation and reduce administrative cost 
through centralization of administrative 
services, public information, and publication 
services, and cataloging and special reference 
services -- with attendant elimination of 
duplicating services currently required by 
physical separation. 
5) The move would also result in the greater 
sharing of facilities, such as conference 
rooms, classrooms, auditorium, storage, etc. 
4. Space Requirements 
a. Basic Scheme - Bethesda 
1) Type of Space Required 
Office Spaces 35,420 sq.ft, (net) 
Technical Spaces 5,490 " 11 
Laboratory Spaces 5,160 " ” 
Classrooms & Instruction Spaces 5,300 " M 
Special Purpose Spaces 28,060 ” M 
Storage 12,000 ” ” 
Total Net Space 91,430 sq. ft. 
(Continue on Page 75, col. 1) 
3. Organization and Operations 
b. Alternate Scheme - Atlanta 
1) Centralizing all NMAC facilities in Decatur 
would restore operation in one location, and 
remove some of the inconvenience and ineff- 
iciencies of a split operation as presently 
obtained in Decatur and Chamblee. 
2) However, present inconvenience with respect to 
communication with NLM would continue, as would 
certain duplications of services and facilities. 
3) Organizationally, NMAC's continued presence on 
the NCDC site, would not be consistent with the 
announced reorganization plan, under which the 
NCUC would be transferred from the NIH to a new 
agency to be called ”The Health Service and 
Mental Health Administration”. 
b« Alternate Scheme - Atlanta 
1) Existing Building #3 (Decatur) 
Net space now 26,880 sq. ft. 
Additional space gained by 
flooring over certain high 
ceiling spaces 2,440 ” ”

of NLM 15,050 sq. ft. (net) 
5. Site Development 
a. Basic Scheme - Bethesda 
1) Site Improvements - In establishing the budget, 
the following would be included: 
a) Grading and seeding around new building, 
b) Approach to new building from access road 
north of the building (assume granite 
paving and steps). 
c) New bituminous path from parking area. 
d) Enlarge existing service court to serve 
both buildings.

5. Site Development 
b. Alternate Scheme - Atlanta 
1) Site Improvement. A minimum would be done to 
alter the existing site plan at Decatur. In 
establishing the budget, the following will be 
included: 
a) Restore paved parking areas under proposed 
building• 
b) Unpaved areas under the building would be 
graded and covered with gravel. Unpaved 
areas restored under the sky would be 
graded and seeded. 
c) Service area south of Building #3 would be 
enlarged. Adjustment of grades, curbs, 
paths, and steps, would be made in adjoining 
area. 
(Continue on Page 76, col. 2) 76 
BASIC SCHEME 
ALTERNATE SCHEME 
e) Extension of existing outside lighting, 
f) Extension of existing surface drainage 
system. 
g) Shrub and Trees. 
2, Parking 
a) Based on NIH criteria of .6 car space per 
worker, 145 spaces would be required for 
240 regular staff members of the NMAC by 
FY1973. 
b) Allowing an additional 25 spaces for 
visitors, the total parking requirements 
on site would be 170 spaces. 
c) For the purpose of this Study and for 
establishing the budget, it is assumed that 
150 spaces would be accommodated in an 
extension to the east of the multiple-tier 
parking structure at the south end of the 
site as discussed in the Feasibility Study 
of 1967. The remaining 20 spaces would be 
surface parking elsewhere on site. 
3) Utilities 
a) Cold Water Supply 
4" domestic water line would connect to 
existing service line to NLM building about 
720 feet away. 8" fire protection water 
line, would be extended from existing line 
40 feet away. 
b) Sanitary System 
8” sanitary sewer would run eastward from 
new building to public sewer in Wisconsin 
Avenue• 
c) Storm Water Drainage 
12" storm water drainage would run southward 
to present brook. 
(Continue on Page 77, col. 1) 
d) Planting at grade north of the new building 
flanking the proposed new NMAC entrance. 
2) Parking 
a) In addition to restoring the 44 parking 
spaces under the building, NCDC would 
require the NMAC to provide a total of 
185 car spaces for staff and visitors, 
10 of which to offset the spaces lost to 
NCDC users at the proposed new NMAC 
entrance facing Clifton Road. 
b) It is assumed that these spaces would be 
provided on land to be acquired by NCDC at 
$44,000 per acre. The cost of land would 
be included in the cost of providing surface 
parking by NMAC. 
3) Utilities 
a) Cold Water Supply 
4" domestic and 6" fire lines would connect 
to 12" street main on north side of Clifton 
Road, 200 feet away. Because of inadequate 
pressure, water pumps would be assumed in 
the new building. 
b) Sanitary Sewer 
6" line to tie in to existing manhole (invert 
elevation 902.3) south of Manhole No. 10 
(line F) at the southern end of the NCDC 
property, 900 feet away. 
c) Storm Water Drainage 
Since the additional load is negligible, a 
tie-in at the nearest existing manhole would 
be assumed. 
d) Steam (4800 Ibs/hr) 
New steam and condensate return lines would 
connect into existing supply and return lines 
in the tunnel at the middle of Building #1, 
about 200 feet away. 
(Continue on Page 77, col. 2) BASIC SCHEME 
ALTERNATE SCHEME 
77 
d) Steam 
Increase size of 360 feet of supply and 
return lines between existing Manhole S-46 
and S-47 from 4”/2” to 6”/4”. Install new 
Manhole between the line, thence install 
300 feet of new 3”/2” supply and return 
lines to new building. 
e) Chilled Water 
Increase size of 300 feet of supply and 
return lines between Manholes CS-49 and 
CS-50 from 12” piping to 16” piping. 
Install 300 feet of new 8” supply and 
return lines from Manhole CS-50 to new 
building, 
f) Electrical 
Connect 2/0 feeder cable from existing 
Manhole 14 to building, 
g) Communications 
Communication cables (telephone, fire alarm 
etc.) will be run to Manhole T-3, Dwg. 9-41, 
Project No. 18096. Extension of these cables 
to final terminal points would be done as 
determined by NIH, 
h) Not provided for in budget estimate: 
1) Possible future tie-in with pneumatic tube 
communications network. 
2) Extension of communications cables beyond 
Manhole T-3, 
3) Any assessment for increase in steam and 
refrigeration plant capacity. 
(Continue on Page 78, col. 1) 
e) Chilled Water (350 Tons and 1050 gpm) 
Supply and return lines would have to be 
brought to the Power House (Building #6) 
450 feet away in a new tunnel. 
f) Electric Service (1500 KVA) 
The closest connection would be in the 
Power House at the southwest corner of 
Building Addition MHn, 
g) Telephone 
125 to 150 PXA's and 10-12 trunk lines would 
be required by the NMAC• Extend to present

7. Phasing and Time Schedule 
a. Basic Scheme - Bethesda 
A tentative schedule for the relocation of 
the NMAC on the NLM site would be as follows: 
1) Review and coordinate the program 
of the NMAC requirements in conjunction 
with other expansion program under con- 
sideration and in prospect 3 months 
2) Develop a master plan for physical 
expansion to guide the execution of 
individual projects and the disposition 
of parking on the site 3 months 
3) Schematic Drawings for NMAC 3 months 
4) Preliminary Drawings and Outline Specs. 3 months 
5) Working Drawings and Detailed 
Specifications 9 months 
6) Bidding and Letting of Contract 3 months 
7) Construction 21 months 
8) Moving in 3 months 
Total 48 months 
b. Alternate Scheme - Atlanta 
1) To expand existing facilities of NMAC to 
meet FY1973 requirements would involve 
the following steps: 
a) Make comparative study on expansion 
of NMAC on NCDC site in Decatur 6 months 
b) Schematic Drawings for NMAC 3 months 
c) Preliminary Drawings and Outline 
Specs* 3 months 
d) Working Drawings and Detailed 
Specifications 9 months 
e) Bidding and Letting of Contract 3 months 
f) Construction 18 months 
g) Move in new Addition 1 month 
Sub Total 43 months 
h) Rehabilitation of Existing Building 5 months 
Total 48 months 
2) In the event that NMAC should remain and expand 
on the NCDC site, the following sequence of 
events must precede construction of the new 
addition: 
a) Acquisition of additional land by NCDC for 
parking. 
b) Updating NCDC site plan to include new land* 
c) Engineering and site study for additional 
surface parking areas* 
d) Construction of new parking areas* 
3) In the event, central steam plant and/or central 
refrigeration plant should not be able to meet 
the requirements of NMAC expansion, they would 
have to be enlarged prior to the completion of 
the building. 83 
d) Rock excavation is included in construction cost 
based on available information of adjacent area. 
e) Site development work is kept to minimum, 
f) Parking facilities assumed as follows:

(In Decatur, cost includes land acquisition at

g) Allowance for contingencies is 5%. Only exception 
is for building alteration at 10%, 
h) Grand totals do not include pro-rata share of 
increasing the capacity of central steam and 
refrigeration plants. In the Basic Scheme, this 
amount has been estimated by NIH at about 
$160,000, In the Alternate Scheme, no estimate 
was available from NCDC, but the amount is not 
likely to vary substantially from that of the 
Basic Scheme, 
i) Other Exclusions: 
1) GSA supervision and administration costs, 
2) Design cost. 
3) Equipment and Furnishing, 
4) Moving cost 
3. Considerations 
a) Current basic unit building cost appears to be 5% 
lower in Atlanta, Georgia than in Washington, D.C. 
b) However, the need to build on stilts over parking 
areas, and other unfavorable conditions on the 
NCDC site, made unit cost for this comparison about 
7% higher in Atlanta than in Washington. 
2, General Notes: 
a) Costs above are estimated as of March 1968, For 
each yearly increment to bidding date, plus one 
year thereafter, add 4% per year compounded. 
Forecasting the rate of inflation is inexact, but 
rate of increase is based on average indices over 
the past 5 years. (Note: 1967 was 7% in New York 
area). 
b) Costs have been adjusted to geographic locations. 
c) Construction costs limited to five feet outside of 
building. Site Development and Utilities include 
work beyond five feet of building. 84 
c) Surface parking in Atlanta, including land cost 
is budgeted at $630,00 per space. Parking in 
multiple tier structure in Washington is budgeted 
at $1,850.00 per space, over three times higher, 
d) Not included in the cost comparison is the value 
of the vacated Building #3 in the Basic Scheme, 
in which NMAC would move to Bethesda. To the NCDC, 
Building #3 is worth $600,000, the difference 
between renovating it to obtain 40,000 square feet 
for office use, and building new office space 
elsewhere on site. 
C, Advantages and Disadvantages 
1. Basic Scheme - Moving tp Bethesda 
a) Advantages 
1) All major facilities for national health 
communications would be centralized in 
one location, 
2) Certain duplications of facilities, and 
activities would be eliminated, such as 
bookkeeping, personnel, etc, 
3) Communications within the organization would 
be improved. 
4) Operations would be more efficient, and 
administrative cost reduced. 
5) More intensive use of facilities such as 
conference room, auditorium, classrooms, 
etc. would be possible. 
6) Proximity to NIH would be consistent with 
announced reorganization plan to bring about 
an expanded Research and Education Adminis- 
tration under the Department of Health, 
Education and Welfare, 
7) More use by Government Health Agencies because 
of proximity, 
8) Greater opportunity to reach medical and para- 
medical audiences. 
9) More public awareness of NMAC1s existence by 
being physically associated with NLM. 
10) Location would facilitate greater development 
of international programs, and encourage inter- 
national cooperation. 
11) New facilities would result in a more efficient 
building, planned to better provide for present 
and future technological advances* 
12) Overall gain in facilities for approximately the 
same expenditure* 
bD Disadvantages 
1) Abandonment of present special service facilities 
in Atlanta. 
2) Greater temporary disruption to the on-going 
program in making the move to Bethesda. 
2, Alternate Scheme - Remaining in Atlanta 
a„ Advantages 
1) Retain present desirable setting and established 
relationship with NCDC, Emory University, Grady 
Hospital, etc. 
2) Less disruption to program. 
3) Continued use of existing special service 
facilities. 
b, Disadvantages 
1) Remoteness to NLM makes administration more 
difficult within organization. 
2) Certain duplication of facilities and 
activities cannot be avoided. 
3) New construction on NCDC site over existing 
parking spaces would be costly. 
4) No room for further expansion on NCDC site. 85 
V• Conclusions and Recommendations 
A• Conclusions 
1. Questions 
Answering the initial questions under "purpose": 
a. Existing Installation. The abandonment of the 
highly specialized installation in Atlanta is 
economically justified because the theoretical 
saving is more than off-set by the higher cost 
of a functionally integrated addition under 
the limited conditions of the site. 
b. Relocation. The moving of this special purpose 
facility to the already limited site of the NLM 
in Bethesda is justified from the point of view 
of a coordinated efficient operation and part 
of the expanding operations of the NLM. 
The question as to whether it should occupy 
the only remaining unassigned area for future 
expansion of the NLM activities can be resolved 
by reviewing the over-all program and inter- 
grating this project with the "Proposed New 
Facility" Project for 1967 for the expansion 
of the NLM, 
2. Survey 
The results of the survey indicate; 
a. Space. The program of space requirements 
projected until FY1973 indicate a total of 
106,480 sq. ft. (net space) will be required. 
1) Atlanta. In Atlanta this would be obtained 
by making an addition of 77,500 sq. ft. (net 
space) to Building #3 and developing a total 
of 29,320 sq. ft. (net space) in the existing 
building. 
2) Bethesda. By consolidating certain activities 
with those already existing in the organization 
of the NLM, 15,050 sq. ft. of program space can 
be saved. This leaves 91,430 sq. ft. (net 
space) to be obtained by a new structure 
connected to the NLM. 
b, Cost. Exclusive of the new parking space 
required, the project at Atlanta will cost 
$5,907,000 compared to $5,863,000 for the 
one at Bethesda, to all practical purposes, 
the same. 
Because expensive multiple tier parking will 
be required at Bethesda at a cost of $370,000 
compared to surface parking at Atlanta at a 
cost of $117,000, the indicated cost of the 
Bethesda project is higher by some $200,000. 
With the NLM becoming an integral part of the 
NIH, it is reasonable to assume the parking 
question will be restudied as an over-all 
problem and the requirements of the NMAC not 
necessarily limited to the NLM site. 
The comparative over-all costs of the two 
projects are; 
1) Atlanta $6,024,000 
2) Bethesda $6,233,000 
3. Location 
Prom the point of view of efficiency of operation, 
greatest service to other government health 
facilities, and better opportunity for highest 
benefit development in the future, the site at 
Bethesda is preferable. 
4, Further Considerations 
In that the NMAC program includes certain activities 
that may be duplicated in other on-site Institutes 
of the NIH, a further over-all review may be advisable 
B• Recommendations 
1. The NMAC project would be more advantageously located 
in Bethesda, 
2. The program be coordinated and consolidated with that 
of the "Proposed New Facility" project of 1967. 
3. Further consideration be given to the question of 
provisions for expansion beyond FY1973. APPENDICES

Mr. Jerry Barnett, Operations Director of 
N.M.A* C. 
Messrs. Kilham and Chu of O’Connor and Kilham* 
1. Organization 
Under the Office of the Director there are six 
Sections as follows: 
a) Audio Visual Systems and Planning Section (AVSP) 
b) Educational Studies and Development Section (ESD) 
c) Graphic and Photographic Arts Section (GPA) 
d) Motion Picture and Television Section (MPTV) 
e) Acquisition, Retention and Distribution

f) Cataloging and Special Reference Section (CSR) 
2• Existing Facilities 
The information received from Atlanta apparently 
included certain physical changes which have been 
contemplated but have not taken place* For the 
purpose of the study, “existing facilities" should 
refer to what is there now. 
3. 1973 Program 
The anticipated program has already been cut back 
since the material arrived from Atlanta* The 5-year 
budget cut-back would allow the following expansion,

6m Miscellaneous considerations 
a) Existing problems in Atlanta* 
1) Lack of space 
2) No room to expand in existing building* 
3) The Communicable Disease Center would like 
to have the building now ocdUpied by NMAVC*

b) Personnel would be the most serious problem 
if NMAlfc should move to Washington, A number 
of the present employees may not want to leave 
Atlanta* Some of them will be very difficult 
to replace* 
c) Some advantages in moving NMAVC to Washington: 
1) Training spaces may be used temporarily as 
office spaces. 
2) Film storage vault may be shared. 
3) Audio-visual function need not overlap. 
4) Cataloging functions might be centralized. 
7* Next step 
a) Architects to bring Program up-to-date.

MEMORANDUM 
Re: NLM - NMAC 
Meetings in Atlanta, Georgia, January 17th 1968* 
I* Meeting No, 1, 
Present: Dr. Lieberman, Mr. Barnett and 
Mr. Farmer of NMAC. 
Mr. Kilham and Mr. Chu* 
A. Concept and Missions 
1. The basic concept of the NMAC is to make its 
Audiovisual collection (a national resource) 
available free of chadge to any person or group 
who desires or needs such information* 
Unlike NLM, its users would include not only the 
medical and scientific communities, but also the 
general public* 
2* Present missions include: 
a* Production 
b. Acquisition 
c* Cataloging 
d. Distribution 
e. Consultation 
In the 5-year plan (FY-1969 to FY-1973) much greater 
emphasis would be placed on the consultation services. 
For example, the NMAC hopes to be able to communicate 
more closely with the scientific community on the use 
and production of biomedical information* Under dis- 
cussion is the idea of making NMAC a national coor- 
dination agency for AV information and production. 
NMAC also will expand its educational and training 
functions and assist institutions in planning AV 
facilities, equipment evaluation, etc. 
(Note; In the report, present and future missions 
may be summarized briefly; detailed infor- 
mation could be contained in an appendix*) 
Page 1 Page 2 
Page 3 
Re: NLM - NMAC January 17th 1968 
B* Advantages in Atlanta: 
1* Present setting is almost ideal* Immediate 
adjacency to the NCDC and Emory University 
Medical School, and the VA Hospital• New 
nursing school and new dental school will be 
established nearby* New veterinarian medicine 
center is planned about 70 miles away* 
2* Convenience in location shooting. Doctors, 
scientists and lab technicians generally appear 
in the film rather than professional actors* 
(Actors will not be convincing to doctors and 
scientists*) 
3* Greater freedom of action by being away from 
Washington* 
4. Less competition for technical and educational 
personnel* Inducement of private enterprise 
in the locality has been limited* 
5* Continued sponsorship of the Community Medical 
Television System* (Unique in the country). 
6* Climate conducive to outside shooting* 
C. Disadvantages of moving:

use the proposed classrooms* 
6* In general, office space should conform to the 
GSA-HEW standard* Clarify where the standard does 
not apply due to equipment and other special re- 
quirements* Re: NLM - NMAC January 17th 1968 
II. Meeting No. 2 with NCDC: 
Present: Mr. William Watson, Executive Officer 
of NCDC, and Mr. Ross Buck, Facilities 
Planning; Dr. Lieberman, Mr. Barnett 
and Mr. Farmer; Mr. Kilham and Mr. Chu. 
A. NCDC position. Mr. Watson stated that it is no 
secret that the NCDC is in great need of additional 
space and that it would like to see NMAC move to 
another site. Additional office space desired by 
NMAC total 50,000 - 60,000 net square feet. 
B. Mr. Buck reviewed the study he had made to convert 
the present NMAC space into standard offices (with- 
out windows). This is done principally by flooring 
over the sound stages and tieing in with the present 
office floor levels. He estimated that a total of 
39»000 square feet of office space is obtainable for 
NCDC by taking over all of NMAC spaces at a cost of 
approximately $415,000. This would be a very econ- 
omical way to expand for the NCDC. 
C. Other plans of NCDC. Other plans include: 
a) Adding a new wing on Building #1, parallel 
to the present new wing, 6 stories high 
for offices, approximately 25,000 square feet. 
b) Erect 10-story high lab buildings w4st of 
present Buildings #4 and #5 for Hot Virus Lab, 
Neutron Radiation Lab, etc. Approximately 
five acres were recently acquired for this 
purpose for $80,000. 
c) NCDC also plans to acquire the triangular plot 
at the corner of Clifton Road and the Houston 
Mill Road extension for additional parking. 
They plan to close off the entrance road on 
Clifton and relocate it off Houston Mill. 
D. Expansion of present NMAC Building: 
1. For NMAC's expansion, Mr. Buck stated that the 
only direction possible seemed to be towards 
the north over the present grass strip south of 
the parking area. Even this area has the dis- 
advantage of having all the utilities - water, 
sewer, gas and electricity, etc. - running 
underneath• 
Res NLM - NMAC January 17th 1968 
2. The possibility of building on stilts over the 
parking area was discussed. Although Mr. Watson 
and Mr. Buck were not enthusiastic, they did not 
rule out this possibility. 
3* Mr. Buck warned that the sub-surface condition on 
the property is very unfavorable, consisting of 
sloping rock for 25 to 30 feet below the ground. 
4. Mr. Buck also indicated that expansion plan of the 
boiler plant did not include any future buildings 
for the NMAC. 
E. NCDC will make the following materials available to 
O'Connor and Kilham: 
1. Overall site plan with contours. 
2. Boring information. 
3. Utility locations.

Meeting in Washington, D.C., January 18th 1968 
Present: Mr* Russell, Mr. Hill (Assistant to 
Mr. Russell), Messrs. Kilham and Chu. 
A. Progress of the Feasibility Study was reviewed* 
Survey of existing facilities is nearly complete, 
as is the required program for 1973. The basic 
information is embodied in the schedules prepared 
by the Architects. This information is being 
finally confirmed by NMAC. The third phase of the 
study consists of comparing the alternatives. It 
was agreed to confine the present study to two 
alternatives: 
1* Keeping the NMAC in Atlanta, expanding 
in its present location, and 
2. Move to Bethesda on NLM site* 
B* A brief outline of the proposed study was reviewed. 
The Architects pointed out that they have learned 
of many advantages £6r keeping the facilities in 
Atlanta. They would now like to hear **the other 
side**, namely, the advantages of moving to Washington. 
C. Advantages in moving NMAC to Washingtons 
1. Place all NLM facilities on the same site. 
2. Facilitate communications within organization. 
3. Eliminate possible duplication of facilities, 
such as catalog* 
4. Proximity to NIH. 
5. More use by government Health Agencies. 
6. Greater opportunities to contact medical 
and para-medical audiences. 
7* More public awareness of NMAC’s existence 
by being directly associated with NLM*

Re; NLM - NMAC 
f) There would be a connection to the existing 
building at the existing basement and 1st Floor 
levels. 
g) The basic comments were; 
1) An additional service elevator would be required 
if film distribution is on an upper floor. The 
industrial elevator would be satisfactory to serve 
the requirements of the sound stages, which should 
have exclusive use of the elevator• 
2) There would be the possibility of providing new 
parking space underneath the ground and then 
bringing the film distribution to the present 
parking level. This would mean the added expense 
of providing *indoor parking and the loss of the 
use of both existing parking areas during con- 
struction of the addition. 
3) The basic assumption was made that all motion 
picture and TV facilities, except the additional 
sound stages, would be provided in the existing 
building. This would mean that lab space for 
still photography would have to be provided in 
the new addition. Perhaps a more practical and 
economical approach is to keep the photo labs 
substantially in the existing building, while 
bringing the motion picture executives, producers, 
writers, etc. to the new spaces in the adjacent 
structure. 
4) Questions of parking, utility, future expansion 
and bulk restrictions should be further discussed 
with NCDC• 
3* Scheme B - Bethesda 
a) Site plan and typical diagrammatic floor plans showing 
how NMAC might be accommodated in Bethesda was reviewed. 
b) The scheme envisioned a building 70 feet by 220 feet, 
7 stories high above ground and 2 floors below. The 
lower floors might extend northward as far as the 
existing utility lines. 
c) There would be connections to the original building 
by a platform on "A" level, by a glassed-in passage 
on the 1st Floor, and by an underground tunnel on 
"C" level•

Present; Mr. George F. Russell, Jr. 
Mr. J.K, Barnett 
Mr. W.H, Kilham, Jr. 
Mr. P.M. Chu 
1. General approach 
It was agreed that the general approach of this study 
shall be to compare two alternatives, namely; 
a) Keep existing facilities in Atlanta and expand 
on existing site, and 
b) Move entire operation to NLM site at Bethesda. 
The purpose of this approach is to keep the problem 
simple enough to bring out objective considerations 
to the basic question raised by Mr. Kelly, the 
Comptroller, i.e., would it be economically justified 
in giving up all the investment of services 
spaces in Atlanta in order to gain the administrative 
advantage of moving the whole operation to Bethesda. 
2. Scheme A - Atlanta 
a) Diagrammatic plans of a scheme showed how a 6-story 
structure might be built over two parking terraces 
east of the existing facilities in Building No. 3. 
b) The basic objective is to retain the existing parking 
areas. Columns, elevator shafts, pipe chases, etc., 
would be located on existing grass areas between the 
paved parking spaces. 
c) The structure would be located some 30 feet east of 
the existing wing in order to miss all the utility 
lines underneath. 
d) A new building entrance will face Clifton Road. 
c) A garage type industrial service elevator is 
envisioned just outside of the present service 
entrance. The elevator would serve all-the floors 
in the new structure, including the floor containing 
the new sound stages.

Re; NLM - NMAC 
Re: NLM - NMAC 
Meeting at NLM on February 26th 1968# 
Present: Dr* Martin M. Cummings, Mr* George F. Russell, Jr*, 
Mr. J,K, Barnett, and Messrs. Kilham and Chu* 
1. Basic Approach Confirmed. 
a) Dr* Cummings stressed the importance of re- 
stricting our study to basic considerations* 
i) Expanding the NMAC facilities on its present 
site in Atlanta* 
ii) Moving entire operation to NLM site in Bethesda. 
b) In Dr. Cummings* view, consideration of other than 
the NCDEC site in Atlanta is beyond the scope of 
the present study* This confirms the conversation 
between Mr* Kilham and Mr* Isbister on August 22nd 
1967, and the general approach followed by the 
Architects subsequently. 
c) It was also agreed that the Architects may assume 
that NMAC would occupy a separate structure on the 
NLM site for the purpose of the present study* 
Eventually, NMAC would have to be reconsidered 
from the point of view of its functional relation- 
ship to all other facilities of the NLM, including 
the proposed Bio-Medical Communications Center. 
2* Basic Considerations. 
a) The proposal to move NMAC to the NLM site is to 
increase efficiency of operation and to reduce 
administrative cost. 
b) The ultimate objective of the move is also to 
centralize all facilities for national health 
communications in one location. 
c) It is also obvious that NCDC needs additional 
space for its own expansion in Atlanta. It would 
like to take over space now occupied by NMAC 
within the NCDC complex of buildings. 
d) Basic considerations outlined in Architects* memo- 
randum dated February 23rd 1968 was reviewed with 
the following comments: 
d) The general disposition of the elements seemed 
to be satisfactory. 
e) It was noted, that, the NMAC facilities would be 
treated as a separate entity on the NLM site only 
for the purpose of this study in order not to 
complicate the problem. The report will recommend 
that should NMAC come to Bethesda, the programs 
for all the projected construction on the NLM site 
should be studied as a whole, and the buildings be 
integrated into one coordinated complex. 
f) The problem of parking, utilities and future expan- 
sion should be discussed with the NIH. 
4. Review of Program for Scheme B 
A detailed review was made of the program reduction 
for Scheme B. The proposed reductions contained in 
Mr. Russell*s letter of February 5th 1968 was reviewed 
in detail. The following changes were made: 
a) Restore item A-5d, Orientation and Visitors, 
200 square feet. 
b) Restore item C-7, Auditorium, 4,500 square feet. 
c) Item F-2e, should be labeled **Film Distribution 
Center**. The 2,000 square feet should be restored. 
d) The entire Cataloging and Special Reference section, 
a total of 2,580 square feet, could be omitted. It 
is expected that these activities would take place 
in a centralized location in the main NLM building. 
Even though they would be additional facilities, 
there appears to be sufficient space once Medlar 
and other programs should move out by 1973* 
As a result of the above adjustments, the total re- 
duction in the program for Scheme B is 13,250 square 
feet • 
5. Next meeting 
a) In Washington on February 26th at 9; 30 A.M., with 
Dr. Cummings to review the program, the schemes, 
and the basic considerations. 
b) Meeting in Washington with officials of NIH to dis- 
cuss parking, utility and expansion* 
c) Meeting in Atlanta on February 27th to discuss with 
NCDC the question of parking, utility, expansion, 
and bulk restrictions. ,

Re: NLM - NMAC February 26th 1968 
i) Continued sponsorship of the Community Medical 
TV System is not an advantage for remaining in 
Atlanta. NMAC*s function as a catalyst to 
bring it into being has already been served. 
ii) Dr. Cummings questioned the meaning of "greater 
freedom of action by being away from Washington 
limelight"• 
iii) Loss of personnel would occur, but Dr. Cummings 
questioned the figures quoted. His experience 
indicates that the loss would not be more than 
20%. In any case, do not use figures, unless 
they can be backed up. 
3. Reorganization of HEW 
a) The reorganization of the Department of HEW has 
been publicized, but has not yet been implemented. 
b) Under the reorganization plan, fundamental health 
activities would be regrouped. The NIH and NLM 
would become part of the Research and Education 
Administration. NCDC, on the other hand, would 
become part of the Health Service Administration. 
A third group would be the Bureau of Health. 
c) Since much of the Research and Education Adminis- 
tration would be located in Bethesda, it would be 
only logical to relocate NMAC. 
d) With reorganization, it is possible that present 
Audiovisual and Production facilities of NIH might 
be substantially cut back or entirely eliminated. 
c) Dr. Cummings stated that the reorganization of the 
department might be mentioned in the Feasibility 
Study as a consideration in the event departmental 
reorganization proceeds as planned. 
4, Review of Final Draft. 
a) Dr. Cummings would like to review the final draft 
of the report. If additional time should be re- 
quired by the Architects, it would be granted.

Re: NLM - NMAC 
Meeting with Mr* Howard Kettl, Assistant Executive 
Officer for the NIH, February 26th 1968. 
1. Parking: 
a) The general criteria is to provide staff parking 
for 60% of the total number of staff members, 
and visitors parking for 60% of the expected 
daily total of visitors. Peak loads for special 
events need not be considered. 
b) For the purpose of the study, these parking spaces 
would have to be provided on the NLM site. Since 
multi-level parking was considered for the Bio- 
Medical Communications Center, Mr. Kettl suggested 
that they may be extended. If necessary, they 
might even be extended into the greenbelt area on 
the north of the property, although this would be 
against the basic concept of the master planners. 
c) Mr. Kettl stated that there should be a more 
satisfactory coordination of all parking require- 
ments on the NIH site. He realized that from the 
overall point of view it might be more desirable 
to establish parking structures in appropriate 
places on the campus, which would also serve the 
need of NLM, than to provide surface parking every 
where. 
d) He pointed out that the projected Fogarty Center 
expects to have surface parking and a parking 
structure to accommodate a total of 340 cars, con- 
sisting of 120 for staff, plus 220 for visitors. 
2. Research Facilities Committee: 
This is the Committee that meets periodically to 
consider facilities on the NIH site. Mr. Kettl 
thought that NLM should bring the possibility of 
moving NMAC to Bethesda to the attention of the 
Committee, and give the Committee a chance to react. 
3. Cafeteria: (Unrelated to the present study). 
a) Mr. Kettl stated that he is presently being asked 
to review the requirements of the Fogarty Center, 
which proposes to include a cafeteria for 250 
persons.

Visit to NMAC Headquarters in Atlanta on 
March 5th 1968, 
Meeting No. 1: 
Presents Mr. William Watson and Mr. Ross Buck (NCDC) 
Mr. J.K. Barnett (NMAC) 
Messrs. Krieg and Chu (O'Connor and Kilham) 
1. The NCDC officials were informed of the general scheme 
that is being considered for the expansion of NMAC on 
the present site. The scheme consists of a building 
130 feet by 155 feet, 6 stories, on stilts, over the 
two lower parking terraces east of Building #3. 
2. Utilities 
a) It was estimated that the proposed addition to 
Building #3 would require 350 tons of refriger- 
ation, 4800 lbs. per hour of steam and 1000-1200 
KVA of electric service. The NCDC officials were 
asked to estimate the capital cost involved, if 
the services were to be provided by the central 
plant on the site. 
b) Anticipated building area: 
Net square feet - 80,000 
Gross square feet - 120,000 
The net areas may be sub-divided as follows: 
Office space, storage space, laboratory 
space, technical space and special space. 
c) Mr. Buck would like to check the chill water re- 
quirements against NCDC's standards. The Architects 
are to give him information on air changes per hour 
assumed for the various types of spaces, 
3. Parking 
a) It was pointed out that the basic scheme would 
substantially retain the existing parking spaces. 
b) His conclusion is that if there is going to be 
a 450-seat cafeteria in the proposed Bio-Medical 
Communications Center, a cafeteria will not then 
be required in Fogarty Center. 
c) In his view, the proposed cafeteria in the Bio- 
Medical Communications Center for 450 seats seems 
to be over-generous. The NIH criteria assumes 
that 70% of all the staff will eat in the cafeteria, 
and that a cafeteria of 250 capacity would serve 
from 600 to 700 persons per meal. In other words, 
a 450-seat cafeteria could feed a staff of 1,800,

Re; NLM - NMAC 
b) Since population of NMAC would be increased by 
120, additional parking would be required on 
site. 
c) New parking spaces would have to be provided 
either by acquiring new land and providing 
surface parking, or by erecting parking structures. 
The local prices for surface parking may vary from 
$600,00 to $800.00 per car, including land cost, 
while parking in structures could cost over $1,200,00 
per car. 
d) Mr. Buck will advise NMAC on the exact parking 
requirements to be included in the project. He 
will also indicate whether the spaces should be 
on ground or in parking structures. 
e) In general, NMAC would like to follow the NIH 
standard of providing parking space for 60% of 
the total number of staff members. 
NCDC Expansion Plan 
a) It was noted that one of the considerations in 
the Feasibility Study is the space problem on 
the present NCDC site. NCDC*s own need for 
additional building space is urgent and quite 
substantial. 
b) The NCDC officials were asked to provide the 
Architects with a map of their expansion plan, 
and a concise statement of their needs for the 
next five years. 
c) The NCDC officials pointed out that to provide 
the needed space of approximately 60,000 net 
square feet, there are two alternatives depending 
on whether NMAC moved to Bethesda or stays in 
Atlanta. If the NMAC should move to Bethesda*. 
NCDC would be able to convert Building #3 and 
gain 40,000 net square feet at approximately 
$10.00 a square foot. On the other hand, if 
NMAC should stay on the site, all of the 60,000 
additional square feet would have to be built 
at a much higher unit cost. 
d) The above information, which would affect the total 
picture from the point of view of the KEW Comptroller, 
could be included in the Appendix, 
Re: NLM - NMAC 
5* Building Cost 
a) Mr, Buck will check into the record to find out 
the cost of Building #3 and the date of its 
completion. 
b) Mr, Buck stated that from their experience, the 
net to gross cost for laboratory buildings would 
generally fall between 50 to 55%. For office 
buildings it will be near 75% 
6. The Architects also sought the reaction of NCDC on 
the possibility of building the new NMAC addition 
from the ground up, if NMAC woulffl build elsewhere 
on the site sufficient parking spaces to make up 
for the spaces occupied by the building. Mr, Buck 
stated that they would like to think about it, as 
this would definitely affect the circulation on the 
site. 
Meeting No, 2; 
Present; Dr. James Lieberman, Mr. McClellan, Mr. Barnett, 
Mr. Krieg and Mr. Chu. 
1. Scheme MA” Atlanta, and Scheme WBW Bethesda, were 
reviewed in detail. All agreed that the Schemes 
seem to be reasonable enough for the purpose of the 
Report. 
2. Mr. McClellan cautioned particularly on the need for 
proper ventilation and soundproofing for the* sound 
stages. 
3. A tentative scheme for the reuse of the existing 
building in diagrammatic form was also reviewed and 
found reasonable.

Re; NLM - NMAC 
under the Feasibility Study of 1967, It is not 
inconceivable, that all new facilities could be 
housed more efficiently .in one structure instead 
of two, which is assumed for the purpose of this 
report• 
7. Support Facilities in Atlanta 
The inability of NCDC to indefinitely supply NMAC with 
such support services as cafeteria, parking, etc., 
should be positively stated in the report. 
8. Proximity to NLM 
The Research Institutes of the NIH should be included 
among health organizations near NLM. With the announced 
reorganization, Divisions of the Bureau of Health Man- 
power, now scattered, may be brought together in Bethesda. 
9. Cost 
Cost of Atlanta and Bethesda Schemes are very close, 
except for parking. Multi-tier parking at Bethesda 
is many times more than surface parking at Atlanta. 
10. Conclusions and Recommendations 
Make positive recommendations on best site.# Include 
a synopsis at the beginning of the report.

Re; NLM - NMAC 
Meeting at NLM on April 9th 1968. 
Present; Mr, Kettl (NIH), Dr, Cummings and Mr. Russell (NLM), 
and Messrs. Kilham and Chu. 
1. Report 
The draft of the Report was reviewed. 
2. Program 
Projected program for FY1973 has been cut down further 
by about 10%, since the Study started. It was agreed 
to keep the old figures, especially since they had 
already been cut down from an earlier projection. 
3. Planning 
Planning on a 5-year projection seemed very short, 
since the project may take all of five years to 
materialize. This is a Mfact of life" with many 
government projects and there is little that could 
be done about it. Best estimate now indicates that 
the proposed facilities should be able to serve NMAC 
adequately for 5 to 10 years. 
4. Growth 
NMAC’s growth is likely to be accelerated by the 
recently announced reorganization of the Department, 
It will presumably be providing AV support for the 
management of NIH and for public information. Some 
duplication of present AV facilities at the NIH could 
then be eliminated. 
5. Parking 
Parking at NLM and at the projected Fogarty Center 
would certainly have to be coordinated for maximum 
efficiency. But for the present study, assume 
multi-tier parking on NLM site. 
6. Integrating NLM Expansion Programs 
If NMAC should move to Bethesda, the facilities 
should be planned in conjunction with those covered
