PROPOSED 
LISTER HILL NATIONAL CENTER 
for 
BIOMEDICAL COMMUNICATIONS 
AND OTHER FACILITIES 
for the 
NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE 
I. SYNOPSIS 
A, Summary 
1• Feasibility Study I, NLM, 
The initial Feasibility Study (1967) (Blue Book) called 
for the study of requirements for construction of 
Additional Facilities for the expanding activities of 
the National Library of Medicine, 
The purpose was to accommodate "the total space require- 
ments of the present and planned programs of the NLM 
in the most efficient manner and making maximum 
utilization of the present NLM building," The project 
would have increased the facilities of the NLM by 
230,000 sq,ft, to a total of 462,000 sq,ft. gross at a 
total cost of approximately $10,500,000 as of June 1967, 
including parking facilities and rehabilitation of the 
existing National Library of Medicine building to 
traditional library purposes, 
2, Fusibility Study II, NMAC, 
Following the designation of the National Medical 
Audiovisual Center in Atlanta as a component part of 
the NLM (1 July 1967) a second Feasibility Study (1968) 
(Grey Book) investigated the alternatives of expansion 
of the NMAC in Atlanta or its relocation in new con- 
struction on the site of the NLM at Bethesda, 
The investigation in Atlanta was limited to an expansion 
of the existing NMAC building. This new construction 
was, of necessity, over existing parking spaces of the 2 
CDC, The CDC itself already had future plans for the 
maximum utilization of its restricted site for its own 
purpose as well as the small amount of adjacent land 
that might become available. It was not considered 
advisable at the time of this survey to investigate a 
new site with a new building for the NMAC, 
The NMAC currently occupies 43,800 sq.ft, in the NCDC 
building outside Atlanta, The 9,100 sq.ft, gross 
additional has now been given up for 14,000 sq.ft, of 
rented space nearby. 
The conclusions and recommendations of this second 
report were that the NMAC might preferably be relocated 
in Bethesda with a total of 153,600 sq.ft, gross at an 
approximate cost of $5,900,000, 
The second study further recommended that the NMAC 
project be combined with the initial expansion project 
of the NLM into one integrated structure connected to 
the existing NLM building in order to realize the 
economies resulting from consolidation of administrative 
and other common purpose space. 
Budget forecasts and program plans used as the basis 
for these studies were somewhat optimistic in the light 
of FY-68/69 restrictions on personnel and fiscal 
obligations and program growth. In addition some of 
the non-program facilities, such as cafeteria and 
parking space, included in the proposed buildings will 
be incorporated in the program of requirements for the 
Fogarty International Center, a building to be con- 
structed adjacent to the NLM. For these reasons, and 
in the interest of federal economy, the NLM decided to 
examine the feasibility of combining the requirements 
of both studies in one building, each with reduced 
program to meet the new economic situation, 
3. Feasibility Study III, LHNCBC/NMAC, 
In August 1968, by passage of Public Law 90-456, the 
proposed additional facilities for the NLM in Study I 
were designated the Lister Hill National Center for 
Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC), Since then, 
restrictions on obligations and programs have reduced 
the building program to a total of 218,000 sq.ft, of 
new construction at a cost estimated as of June 1969 
of $11,121,000, 
Initially this third Feasibility Study-1969 (Red Book) 
was to update the requirements contained in Studies I 
and II, and explore the combination of the initial 
LHNCBC project with the NMAC project for location in 
one building at Bethesda as compared to one for the 
LHNCBC alone, omitting the NMAC, 
Early in the study it became clear the program for the 
LHNCBC and all other programs for space in the new 
building would have to be substantially reduced if the 
NMAC was to be accommodated in this same structure. 
Of the possible total of 230,000 sq.ft, gross (149,000 
sq.ft, net useable space) only 131,000 sq.ft, would 
have been available to the new and expanded program of 
the NLM - the difference being taken care of as now, 
by rental space, or by assigned space in other 
buildings. Many program space requirements would have 
been subject to deferment, all as indicated in Bar 
Chart Exhibit 1, (Facing Page) 
The NMAC program would have been similarly handicapped 
by requiring supplemental rental space, 
4. Revision of Program 
In view of these handicaps the NLM decided the NMAC 
would probably have to remain in Atlanta, Without the 
NMAC the NLM could have all its basic needs met in 
accordance with the revised program for the LHNCBC, 
This report has now been modified to determine what the 
space requirements of the LHNCBC without the NMAC would 
be up to 1974, and what the estimated costs would be 
as of June 1969, with projections, so that planning can 
proceed on schedule if funds are authorized, 
A revised program for the NMAC for its independent 
expansion in Atlanta is included in the Appendix, The 
exclusion of the NMAC from the LHNCBC building creates 
a need that must be met in future years. This third 
study has determined NMAC space requirements through 
1974 - existing facilities are insufficient to meet 
these requirements. In addition CDC has pressing 
growth needs that must be accommodated on the CDC site. 
If NMAC projected requirements outlined in the study 
are to be satisfied their independent expansion at a 
separate site in Atlanta must be investigated, 
5, Conclusions 
a. Estimates & Projections 
1) Personnel - Assumed projection from 517 in 1969 
to 1039 in 1974, including NMAC, (From 391 to 
859 in Bethesda alone)• 
2) Space - Increase of floor area from 230,000 sq,ft, 
(NLM Bldg.) by 218,000 sq,ft. (LHNCBC Bldg,) to 
a grand total of 448,000 sq.ft, in Bethesda, ATLANTA

B, Preface 
1, In 1962 the collection of books that occupied only a 
few shelves in 1836 as the Library of ’’The Surgeon 
General’s Office” expanded into a new building of its 
own in Bethesda, known as the National Library of 
Medicine. By its very nature as a collector of books 
it was ever growing and for some 40 years had felt the 
pinch of restricted quarters. It now had a facility 
large enough to meet its overall requirements, with an 
allowance of space to meet the anticipated stack 
expansion for the next 20 years, 
2, -For years the National Library of Medicine had been in 
the forefront of technical advances in the adoption of 
new equipment and methods to library purposes. Its 
development of the mechanization of the photo reproduc- 
tion of an article from the volume in the stack to its 
deposit in the mail drop has been an outstanding 
performance, 
3, Particularly notable, however, was the continued 
technical advance over the years in the preparation of 
the Index Medicus, a monthly publication listing the 
significant citations from some 2500 medical journals. 
With the installation of a computer, in the northwest 
corner of the building, a new automated system took 
over the production of the Index Medicus in a program 
called MEDLARS (for the Medical Literature Analysis & 
Retrieval System). With the aid of the computer the 
information extracted from the journals was stored on 
tapes, retrieved at the proper time and edited in a 
form ready for the printer. The success of this new 
operation opened a vast new field in usefulness of 
catalog and bibliography. Several additional types of 
services became possible, including demand bibliographies 
and recurring bibliographies on selected subjects. 
4, With the Medical Library Assistance Act in 1965, a new 
and expanded role for the National Library of Medicine 
was established, a role embracing new functions to 
match the ever increasing magnitude of its already 
established mission. The rapid development of computer 
and automation techniques in the field of business, 
science and the military services await only the spec- 
ifications of the library field to harness them to a 
new essential purpose in our national life. The access 
to medical knowledge, the selection of the item, the 
dissemination to the user whether a library, hospital 
or individual doctor, becomes possible with a speed 
and range inconceivable a few years ago. To meet the 
pressures and increasing demands,the National Library 
of Medicine began expanding its programs and its 
personnel. All this had to be at the expense of space 
intended for the traditional library purposes for which 
it was founded. Additional rented space was acquired 
on the outside, 
5, The National Library now has a far greater task to 
accomplish in expanding its services as the National 
Library of Medicine to that of a bio-medical communica- 
tions center for the whole country as well, performing 
research and development on new methods for handling 
information and providing new as well as traditional 
information services. 
6, The House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations 
in its report on the 1967 appropriation bill directed 
the Library to develop a research capability and added 
funds to the budget for ’’development and direction of 
the Library’s application of advanced technology to 
biomedical communication problems; for studying the 
application of library and related learning resources 
to the continuing education of health scientists and 
practitioners; and for planning and development of the 
Library’s role as a center for bio-medical communica- 
tions.” The late Congressman John Fogarty, Chairman 
of the House Appropriations Sub-Committee on Labor and 
Health, Education, and Welfare, in a speech in 1965, 
suggested the establishment of a National Center of 
Bio-Medical Communications as a component of the Library 6 
which would be closely and continuously concerned with 
research and development in the bio-medical communica- 
tion field, providing a national focal point for 
research in the communications and information processes 
themselves. This requirement was further recognized by 
the President’s Science Advisory Committee in its 
report, "Handling of Toxicological Information." 
7. In response to a delegation of responsibility from the 
President to the Secretary of Health, Education and 
Welfare and subsequently to the National Library of 
Medicine, the Library is required to develop and operate 
an action-oriented Toxicological Information Exchange 
to meet the urgent need for a coordinated, comprehensive, 
computer-based file of toxicology information, 
8. On August 3, 1968 President Johnson signed into law 
(P.L. 90-456) legislation designating^this Planned 
National Center for Biomedical Communications as the 
Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communica- 
tions honoring the "Health Statesman" Senator from 
Alabama• 
9. The law had been introduced as Senate Joint Resolution 
193 by Senator John Sparkman "to perpetuate the name 
of the man who has done so much for the health of the 
nation,” 
10, Effective 1 July 1967 the National Medical Audiovisual 
Center (NMAC) of the PHS in Atlanta became a component 
part of the NLM. To carry out its new assignment as 
part of the NLM in the bio-medical communication field 
it will also require substantially increased facilities, 
11, In October 1967 a Feasibility Study (11-1968) was 
authorized to survey the current useage of the NMAC and 
project its future space requirements, comparing the 
alternatives of remaining in Atlanta or moving to 
Bethesda, 
12, As a result of Feasibility Study 11-1968 it was 
recommended the NMAC relocate in Bethesda in the NLM 
site. The main reasons were: 
a. By being in one place duplication of certain 
administrative and service facilities could be 
avoided with a resulting saving of space. 
b. Certain educational facilities could be shared such 
as seminars, auditorium space, equipment, etc,, 
again avoiding space duplication. 
c. The overall services of the LHNCBC would be enhanced 
and efficiency promoted by having the NMAC as a 
functioning part of their activities on the same site. 
13* It was further recommended, in the interest of greater 
efficiency and economy, the two projects be combined 
in one new building for the LHNCBC. 
14. With subsequent modifications of program, restrictions 
on obligations and program growth for all national 
projects, as well as in the interests of federal 
economy, it was concluded that the two projects should 
be examined for possible combination in one building. 
For this reason Feasibility Study III was authorized 
20 November 1968, 
On 5 February 1969, however, it was decided that, 
because of the strong possibility the NMAC will remain 
in Atlanta this report, already under way, should be 
modified accordingly0 
11• general 
A, Authorization 
Contract No. NLM 69-5 - entered into the 20th day of 
November 1968 by the United States Government and O’Connor 
& Kilham, Architects in the City of New York, amended as 
of 7 March 1969. 
B, Character and Extent of Services 
1• Project Description; 
Initially a study of the physical requirements and 
estimated costs for the construction of the proposed 
additional facilities for the National Library of 
Medicine combined with the National Medical Audio- 
Visual Center but amended to omit the NMAC as part of 
the program. 
2. Scope of Work 
"to combine in one building the require- 
ments of the National Library of Medicine including 
the National Medical Audiovisual Center, already 
examined in two previous studies for the purpose of 
accommodating the total space requirements of the 
present and planned programs of the National Library 
of Medicine in the most efficient manner.” It is to 
be noted subsequent cut-backs by the government required 
extensive re-examination of the programs of these two 
previous studies. 
Then, by amendment, as noted above, the NMAC was omitted 
from this project. The program is detailed in the 
'•Scope of Work" furnished as part of the contract as 
detailed hereinafter in section III. 7 
3, Time of Performance 
Complete and delivered by March 21, 1969, an extension 
of time from March 1, 1969, 
C. Background Information 
1 • NLM 
a. Location 
The National Library of Medicine is located on 
Wisconsin Avenue in the SE corner of the National 
Institutes of Health Reservation in Bethesda, 
Maryland, across Wisconsin Avenue from the National 
Naval Medical Center, 
b. Existing Building 
1) The present building of the NLM was first occupied 
in 1962 as a traditional medical library. The 
library was formerly the Armed Forces Medical 
Library first under way in 1836 as the Library of 
the Surgeon General’s Office, The computer-based 
Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System 
(MEDLARS I) was installed, with resulting altera- 
tions, in 1963, 
2) With the Medical Library Assistance Act of 1965 
an increase in personnel was authorized 
commensurate with new program responsibilities - 
with still further alterations in the plans, 
3) Workloads and maintenance requirements have long 
exceeded the design characteristics of MEDLARS I, 
Accordingly, the Library determined in 1966 to 
develop a replacement system, MEDLARS II, which 
could take advantage of the advances in computer 
technology to provide an increased capability to 
the Library’s programs, MEDLARS II will be 
implemented in three phases, 
a) Level 1, to be operational by the end of 
September 1969, will replace the capabilities 
of MEDLARS I, 
b) Level II development is scheduled to begin in 
mid 1969, Level II will provide for improved 
support to Library functions, 
c) Level III will provide for continued improve- 
ments for Library operations with an integration 
of the system into the biomedical communications 
network. It is anticipated that the total 
MEDLARS II will be operational by the end of 1971, 
Co Rented Space 
In June 1966 commercial space was leased in the 
Blackwell Building, Bethesda, to accommodate the 
staff of the Extramural Program, 
d. Future Requirements 
1) The success of the MEDLARS installation as a tool 
of bibliographic research, the enlarged scope of 
collecting activities, the broad responsibilities 
of the NLM under the Medical Library Assistance 
Act of 1965 affecting the Extra Mural Program, 
the center for toxicological information, the 
authorization to proceed with the development of 
a sophisticated graphic image storage and 
retrieval system, the preservation microfilming 
program, the program of research and development 
in new system and techniques relating to the 
intended communication of bio-medical information, 
are all beyond the scope of the library of 1962 - 
and all have combined to create an ever increasing 
demand for space to house the growing staff and 
their activities - currently met at the expense 
of the space allowed for the basic library 
functions of the NLM and the growth of its 
collection and by renting commercial space, 
2) To determine a physical program to best meet 
these demands and make due allowance for their 
probable development in space requirements over 
the next twenty years - as far as it could be 
reasonably projected - an initial Feasibility 
Study was authorized and prepared in 1967 (I - 
Blue Book) developing a requirement of 232,000 
sq.ft, gross of new space with plans for 
renovating in the existing National Library of 
Medicine at a then estimated cost of $10,500,000, 
Reference is made to the study for certain details 
to avoid duplication, 
e, Site 
In its Master Plan for the NIH campus, additional 
space contiguous to, and largely to the south of, 
the NLM has been considered available by the NIH 
for the projected expansion of the NLM as studied 
herein, 
2, NMAC 
a. Location 
The main facilities of the National Medical Audio- 
visual Center are located within the National 8 
Communicable Disease Center complex in the suburb 
of Decatur, 7 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, 
Georgia. The Distribution Center, and the Catalog- 
ing and Special Reference functions are located in 
a rented space nearby. 
b. Existing Conditions 
1) 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. 
2) A substantial portion of the building was 
specifically designed and equipped for the prod- 
uction of audiovisuals including motion pictures, 
video tapes, and other audiovisual forms, 
3) 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 facilities in the 
Chamblee Annex have been transferred to larger 
quarters in rented space closer to the NMAC 
building, 
4) 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 Audiovisual Center, 
c. Present Size of NMAC and Proposed Expansion 
1) The present National Medical Audiovisual Center 
employs 126 persons and occupies a net area of 
34,010 square feet of useable space, 
2) Feasibility Study II - 1968 (Gray Book) proposed 
an expansion to 91,430 sq.ft, net space for 
location in Bethesda, reduced to 82,700 sq.ft, 
net in updating the requirements herein. 
3) The initially proposed consolidation in the 
LHNCBC building would have required a further 
reduction to 65,000 sq.ft» net or 109,000 sq.ft, 
gross floor area under the latest program - the 
balance to be provided in rented space. 
d. Site 
1) Bethesda, If the NMAC program is consolidated 
with the expansion program of the NLM 
it would become a part of the proposed 
LHNCBC building to the south and 
connected to the existing NLM, 
2) Atlanta. If the NMAC remains in Atlanta, the 
expansion would presumably be an 
addition to the East to the space 
currently held in Bldg. No. 3 of the 
NCDC, as indicated in Feasibility 
Study 11-1968 - unless a new site is 
required. 
D. The Need 
The need to expand the Library's physical facilities to 
meet its new responsibilities as an active research and 
development center is now critical. Additional space is 
required not only to establish the new programs but also 
to accommodate the expansion of current programs and to 
permit restoration of original library space to the 
National Library of Medicine for traditional library 
purposes,

G. Criteria 
1• Existing NLM Bldg* 
Rehabilitate as basic National Library of Medicine 
with functions as originally authorized., 
2. New Structure 
Develop scheme - a new structure to meet new and 
expanded requirements of NLM as ”Bio-medical 
Communications Center.” (Combined with enlarged 
activities of the NMAC, this, initially, required 
the restudy and updating of the program developed 
in Feasibility Studies I (LHNCBC) and II (NMAC) 
reducing the overall program to integrate it into 
requirements of one combined structure). 
3• Linkage 
Provide proper "linkage” as part of the new con- 
struction so combined facilities can operate 
efficiently as one institution, 
4, Relationships 
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, 
5. Future Projects 
Make adequate allowance for future expansion on 
site with indication of a possible plan. 
6* Flexibility 
New floor space to be designed with the capability 
of change of arrangements of partitions and 
utilities to permit future departmental expansion 
and/or modification of layout. 
7. Fogarty Center 
Coordinate NLM program with developments for the 
adjacent Fogarty Center, particularly in relation 
to Parking & Eating Facilities. 
8. Parking 
Coordinate with N.I.H, overall parking program. 
9• Fallout Protection 
Meet requirements as furnished by the Office of 
Civilian Defense, 
10. Utilities 
Coordinate development with N.I.H. to determine 
what part of NLM project cost will be shared with 
N.I.H. with particular reference to any required 
plant expansion where new or extended utilities 
are required. 11 
m. SURVEY 
A, Requirements 
1. Feasibility Study. 
The Contract of Nov, 20, 1968 stated: "Independently 
and not as an agent of the Government, the con- 
tractor will perform a study to combine in one 
building the requirements of the National Library 
of Medicine including the National Medical Audio- 
visual Center, already examined in two previous 
studies for the purpose of accommodating the total 
space requirements of the present and planned 
programs of the National Library of Medicine in the 
most efficient manner," 
As amended 7 March 1969 (prior verbal notification) 
the NMAC was omitted from the project on the 
assumption it would remain in Atlanta, 
2. Scope 
"Specifically, the contractor will; 
a. Update analysis of current and projected space 
needs contained in the two previous studies 
dealing with NLM building requirements, 
b. Through consultation with NLM officials and 
study of documents to be supplied adjust total 
space requirements program for 1974 developed 
in two previous studies to reflect current NLM 
growth and program plans, 
c. Through consultation with NLM and NIH officials 
adjust total space analysis performed in previous 
studies and total space requirements program 
for 1974 to reflect the exclusion of some non- 
program facilities, 
d. On the basis of the foregoing analyses, adjust- 
ments and consultations describe a recommended 
approach to the location, size and general 
design characteristics of a new NLM facility 
subject to the following constraints and using 
information developed in the two previous 
studies to the maximum extent possible. 
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. 
e. The analysis and recommendation required above 
will be consolidated in a final report which 
contains suitable graphic analysis, diagrammatic 
sketches, line perspectives and models which 
effectively describe relationships between 
specific activities and gross space requirements 
for those activities. The report will also 
contain general construction cost estimates 
based on similar projects performed elsewhere, 
but not reflecting precision cost estimating 
techniques usually associated with detailed 
design and specifications. The cost estimate 
will include the cost of utilities and their 
extension from NIH, appropriate landscaping and 
conversion of space in the present NLM building. 
One hundred and fifty (150) copies of this 
report will be provided,’1 
Following the amendment it was agreed a schedule 
of the requirements of the NMAC as a separate 
building would be included in the Appendix.

4, Growth of Activities - 5 year plan - 1970-74 
In accordance with the reorganization of health 
activities in the Department of Health, Education, 
and Welfare, the National Library of Medicine will 
continue to serve as the Department's vital center 
for health communications and related scientific 
information systems development. 
Objectives: 
a. Support, strengthen, and encourage the develop- 
ment of the Nation's health information resources, 
1) The NLM has developed a health information 
network concept which involves public and 
private health information resources and 
activities in an integrated national system, 
2) The NLM will support and strengthen bio- 
medical libraries and related institutions, 
build on and strengthen existing relation- 
ships between institutions involved in health 
communications, and take steps to enhance 
the role of the library as a learning resource 
center , 
b. Expand and improve current library services at 
the NLM to provide back up to the national net- 
work and regional services to the Middle 
Atlantic area. 
The NLM will serve as the ultimate backstop in 
the national medical library network. To do 
this, NLM will expand levels of bibliographic, 
reference, and loan services. The Library will 
also serve as the regional medical library for 
the Middle Atlantic area. 
To achieve this objective during the period 
1970-1974, intramural efforts will be directed 
toward: 
1) Converting the present computerized Medical 
Literature Analysis and Retrieval System 
(MEDLARS) to an enlarged and expanded 
capability second-generation system 
(MEDLARS II); 
2) Application of new techology to graphic 
image storage and retrieval and the develop- 
ment and installation of a prototype 
system; and, 
3) Continued development and conversion of 
traditional library operations to automated 
systems. 
All efforts must be conducted concurrently for 
maximum effectiveness. The main thrust (and 
heaviest funding requirements) of MEDLARS II 
development will occur during the period 1969- 
1972, while the mechanization of library opera- 
tions and graphic image storage and retrieval 
development activities will occur in 1970 and 
1971. 
c. Provide rapid dissemination of biomedical 
information through audiovisual modes. 
To accelerate the transfer of biomedical informa- 
tion and to augment existing media and human 
resources, present audiovisual capability will 
be upgraded and new modes will be developed for 
use in schools of the health professions, for 
continuing education of health scientists and 
practitioners, and for upgrading the health 
knowledge of the general population. 
The main effort in achieving this objective 
will come from activities of the National 
Medical Audiovisual Center directed toward man- 
power development and training and improved 
communication of health information. 16 
Direct funds will be used to provide: 
1) Demonstration projects which can serve as 
prototypes for the utilization of new 
audiovisual concepts and media applications* 
2) Technical assistance and advice to schools 
of the health professions in developing 
audiovisual capabilities and applying new 
technology * 
3) Regional training conferences and seminars* 
4) Expansion and systems integration of audio- 
visual material cataloging and bibliographic 
services with MEDLARS. 
d. Develop and operate a computer-based national 
toxicological information system. 
The NLM will develop and operate a comprehensive 
information system on toxicology, promote 
concensus on standards for use in health related 
information systems and respond to incoming 
requests for stored information, directly or 
by referral, and provide or arrange repackaging 
of stored material. 
The first phase of this effort which is now in 
progress and will extend through 1970 is con- 
cerned with program planning and systems 
engineering and development to be accomplished 
through closely directed and monitored contracts 
to identify potential users of the system, 
identify sources of information to be used in 
compiling data banks, and develop specifications 
for a computer-based information system. 
Later phases of the toxicology information 
program effort will be directed to experimental 
and pilot provision of services, system installa- 
tion and actual operations. 
e. Develop and operate a research and development 
program in biomedical communications. 
The LHNCBC will design and develop communications 
systems, apply technology to operational problems 
and apply advanced communications technology 
along with other relevant technologies to implement 
a comprehensive public health services informa- 
tion network. 
During the 1970-1974 period a highly skilled 
staff of information scientists and systems 
specialists will plan, design, and develop with 
contractual support a health information net- 
work. Also, during the first three years of 
the period the LHNCBC will be involved in the 
development of the full range of MEDLARS II 
technical capabilities, systems engineering and 
technical design of the computer-based 
toxicology information program, and the design 
and development of communications linkages 
between components of the emerging national 
medical library network.

a. With the construction of the LHNCBC certain 
non-traditional library departments will move 
to the new center permitting expansion of 
certain library and NLM administration within 
the existing building. However, additional 
space for MtraditionalM library departments will 
still be required in the new building, 
b. Some stack space will be required and more will 
be made available in the new structure to take 
care of expansion for 20 years until 1989, with 
provision reserved for major stack expansion 
taking place at a later date in the area 
immediately west of the NLM building, as 
originally intended. It is now used for parking, 
c. Exhibit 12, page 29, shows the expanded program 
in diagrammatic form and indicates those 
facilities which will remain in the NLM and which 
will be located in the new LHNCBC,

PROPOSED NLM PROGRAM FOR 1974 (BETHESDA) 30 
4. Special Consideration 
a. Linkage 
1) To preserve the integrity of the NLM in its 
aspect as distinctive building on the NIH 
campus, and to avoid disturbance of already 
established public areas on the main floor, 
it is proposed the new and old buildings be 
connected only at "A" level and below. "A" 
floor also has the advantage of space pro- 
visions overhead for extending duct and 
conduit work, computer cable connection, etc., 
and providing access for service entrance 
for interchange of mail and deliveries. 
2) The "A" level would also be the principle 
passage for personnel traffic permitting the 
most convenient circulation to facilities 
used in common in either structure such as 
auditorium, conference rooms, lunch room 
(for people bringing own), as well as inter- 
departmental activities, 
b. Growth of Collections 
1) Literature Collections, Exhibit 13, page 31. 
a) Mission. The basic mission of the NLM 
includes the acquisition of the published 
literature of the bio-medical sciences, 
and these will continue to be housed in 
the stacks of the original building 
(subject to extension as required). It 
is assumed that for the next 10-20 years 
(while new types of medical information 
forms are developing) books and journals 
will continue to be the principal means 
of communication. 
b) The apparent growth rate - estimates based 
on the linear feet of occupied shelving 
indicated the present collection is 
doubling every 15 years or so. 
c) Changes in scope of collection - with its 
new role in the national health effort the 
library not only faces a rapid expansion 
of its basic programs utilizing the book 
collection but now faces the need of a 
collection of bio-medical literature with 
a much broader coverage in subject matter 
in fields related to problems of health 
and education* In addition the total 
body of medical literature today is expand- 
ing at a faster rate. 
For this reason, the rate of growth in- 
dicates not only the increase from the 
acquisition of newly published bio-medical 
literature but also the acquisition, for 
the first time, of books in the broader 
field including the related subjects. It 
is anticipated this expansion of the scope 
of the collection, added to the normal 
rate growth, will double the collection 
every 14 years. 
d) Normal Stack Expansion 
The plans of 1962 allowed for a stack expan- 
sion within the structure of approximately 
three times the entering collection - or 
the equivalent of 159,400 lin.ft, of 
shelving. 
Much of this reserve for expansion has been 
encroached upon not only by unexpected 
growth in the ’'traditional" library depart- 
ments because of the demands on their in- 
creasingly valued services but particularly 
by the space required for the new services 
that have become possible with the use of 
the computer plus the development of new 
areas required for the effective use of 
the computer itself - such as systems 
analysis, programming, data processing and 
problems of indexing - in the MEDLARS 
program. As of 1969 all this has reduced 
the ultimate stack capacity to 122,000 lin.ft. 
Even if these later departments and the 
computer move out into the new structure 
and the library is restored to its traditional 
purposes it will be found that considerable 
stack space has still been lost to other 
purposes. Exhibit 13, page 31, indicates 31 
the total ultimate stack capacity of 1962 
of 159,400 lin, ft, will be reduced to 
134.000 lin. ft, after the 1974 program. 
Assuming the rate of growth figures avail- 
able at present, 5%, this indicates the 
present stacks will be full by 1981, 
If expansion is to be allowed for within 
the new project until 1989, (20 years from 
1969) this means five years more of growth 
should be allowed for in this program - 
approximately 63,800 lin. ft, of stack, 
a grand total of 197,800. 
To achieve this it is proposed to provide 
39.000 lin.ft. of standard stack in the 
new building bringing the total to 173,000 
lin.ft, and, in addition, putting one- 
quarter of the collection in compact 
storage on "C" level in the old building, 
thus gaining the balance of the 24,800 
lin, ft, required for 1989, 
2) Microfilm Collection 
a) Microfilming is still the only feasible 
method for preserving the printed record 
of biomedical progress. The five year 
program submitted March 11, 1968 called 
for conversion of 62 million pages, about 
20% of the total pages in the NLM collection. 
During this five-year period the collection 
will grow by 75 million pages, 
b) The film vault is now completed and has a 
maximum capacity of 94,000 reels and an 
effective capacity of 75,000 reels. By 
the end of FY 1969, 20,300 reels of print- 
ing masters and security films will be 
stored in the vault. The 62 million pages 
requested in the five-year plan will add 
80.000 reels of security and printing 
masters to the collection. Realization 
of a program of this size beginning with 
FY 71 would mean that the effective 
capacity of the vault would be reached by 
FY 74.

c. Automated Graphic Image Storage, Retrieval and 
Print-out Device. 
1) The Reference Services Division of the National 
Library of Medicine presently receives over 
150,000 requests annually to lend copies of 
journal articles to other libraries. An 
article may consist of one to one hundred pages. 
2) Their present objective is to obtain an auto- 
mated system capable of rapidly locating 
desired documents in microform from a file, 
and making a distribution copy of the requested 
items. The initial purpose of the system will 
be to speed up service to readers. Current 
journal articles that are in heavy demand will 
be photographed and stored in the system for 
quick retrieval from any of the several dis- 
play units that will be installed within the 
building, 
3) The basic file should have the capacity to 
store between 140,000 and 200,000 articles 
and be capable of producing output copy of 
at least 500 articles in an 8 hour shift in 
either direct enlargement prints or on a com- 
posite roll of film, 
d. Network Engineering & Communications Center 
1) One of the principal responsibilites of the 
Lister Hill Center for Biomedical Communica- 
tions is the design, development, implementa- 
tion and management of the Biomedical 
Communications Network. 
2) Current efforts in the linkage of computer 
systems into networks continues the develop- 
ment first of the use of the individual 
computer, then followed by computer systems, 
3) The proposed linking of libraries, informa- 
tion centers, medical schools, hospitals and 
research centers through communications will 
constitute the network, 
4) The network control and management will be 
exercised from the Center. 
5) The various services of the network will be 
available on a decentralized basis and 
accessible through local hospitals, medical 
societies, clinics, medical schools, medical 
libraries, and private offices. 
6) The National Library of Medicine has isolated 
five cluster points of health activity which 
if linked via communications would inter- 
connect some forty percent of the physician 
population of the nation. These are Los 
Angeles, New York-Boston, Washington, D.C., 
Atlanta, and any one of the cities of Chicago, 
Houston, or Detroit. 
e. Communications Laboratories Facilities 
Related to the Communications Central would be 
a small series of laboratories where equipment 
and methods can be screened, tested, and 
evaluated, including demonstration areas for 
visitors. Alternate or more advanced systems 
could be set up with means of connection 'on line* 
to the Communications Center for performance 
tests, program substitutions, or as a back-up, etc. 
These laboratories would also maintain technical 
and quality control of broadcasts, maintain and 
service equipment, and assemble programs. 
Photo 24, page 34, of the RISC installation now 
in use in the NLM is also an example of the 
experimentation in advance of an essential part 
of the future Communications Center. 
f. Audiovisual Equipment 
1) The NLM is already making increasing use of 
Audiovisual equipment with a particular view 
to gaining experience for the grant program 
that will become possible with the new LHNCBC. 
2) The microfilm program is not only concerned 
with the preservation of documents but also 
with the putting of certain medical literature 
into a form that can be utilized as the first 
step in adaptation to requirements of various 
printing, facsimile or storage & retrieval 
devices as may be used. 37 
3) Audiovisual machines using single concept 
films are now available in the reference 
reading room. 
4) A T.V. installation in the corner of the same 
reading room permits dial access to certain 
programs. 
g. Audiovisual Production Facilities, NMAC, 
1) the NMAC in Atlanta, now a part of the NLM, 
has the studios and other facilities for the 
production of audiovisuals, including 
motion pictures, video tapes, and other audio- 
visual forms. It also acquires pertinent 
material from other sources. Its work includes 
a catalog filing and distribution service. 
In addition it includes a rapidly developing 
audiovisual planning system concerned with 
Educational studies and development, 
2) It serves as a focal point for the production, 
utilization and distribution of all audio- 
visual forms in support of the mission of the 
Public Health Services through the NLM, 
3) Photographs 13, 14, and 15, page 33 
illustrate present film distributions, 
instructions and production facilities. 
IV. DEVELOPMENT 
A. Program as of 1974 - Bethesda 
1• Schedules 
For the Program in tabular form - personnel and 
areas - see Exhibits 14 and 14A, pages 38 & 39. 
For detailed breakdown see additional tables in 
Appendix I. 
2. Diagrammatic Plans 
a. For comparison of space utilization in NLM Building 
as of 1969 and after revision to "traditional 
uses" in new program of 1974 see Exhibits 15 
through 19, pages 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. 
b. For diagrammatic plans and sections of proposed 
utilization of space in new LHNCBC see Exhibits 
ISA through 19A, pages 41, 43, 45, 47 and 49. 
3. NMAC - Atlanta 
a. Program schedule as of 1974 for a new building, 
or with addition to old, totaling 96,600 net sq. 
ft. See Appendix II. 
b. If NMAC moves to Bethesda, 
Because certain requirements, particularly in 
administration and service areas, could be con- 
solidated with existing departments of the NLM, 
thereby avoiding duplication of services, the 
NMAC program could be reduced by 13,900 sq.ft, 
to 82,700 net sq.ft. 
c. If NMAC remains at Decatur. 
If the NMAC remains at Decatur in the NCDC 
building, 34,200 sq.ft, will be taken care of in 
the existing structure leaving approx, 61,400 
for construction in a new addition. 
d. New Building. NMAC. 
If a new site and funds become available to the 
NMAC, as of 1974, it will require the complete 
program of 96,600 net sq.ft. 38

B. Specific Areas and Details 
1. Growth of Bookstacks, See Exhibit 13, page 31, 
To accommodate the growth of bookstacks until 1989 
estimated at 75,800 linear feet of additional 
shelving, it is proposed: 
a. New stack space in LHNCBC 39,000 lin, ft, with 
installation of the standard stack and spacing 
now currently in use. Insofar as practical, 
any standard stack displaced by plan changes in 
the existing NLM Building would be reused. See 
Photos 4 & 6, page 32, 
b. Compact Stacks, To gain the additional shelving 
various types of compact stacks were analyzed 
in Feasibility Study I, It is concluded the 
best type would be one that does not change the 
current method of shelving books (standard shelf 
arrangement), or require moving of heavy 
sliding, or swinging sections by hand. At this 
time the most satisfactory compact system would 
seem to be ’’Aisle - Compression Electric” type 
which can be seen in the library of the nearby 
American University, 
1) This type would permit doubling the number 
of books in a given area and still maintain 
the 70% of capacity desired for ’’shelving” 
by the Librarian for books in active usage, 
2) In the area assigned the additional 24,800 
lin, ft, of shelving could thus be gained, 
3) Since compaction of book storage of this type 
would more than double the weight on the 
floor, it is proposed to use the area in- 
dicated on ”C” level which bears on the 
ground, (Rock), 
4) Photograph 22, Page 34, shows the system 
installed in an existing stack area in the 
American University, Photograph 23 shows 
how an aisle can be opened up between any 
pair of ranges and how the shelving is the 
same as in the standard stack. 
A bar chart showing comparison of these different 
alternates is indicated in Exhibit 20 below.

6) The layout for the assigned area on "C" 
level with this type of stack to permit 
doubling the capacity of the area is shown 
on plan of "C" level, Exhibit 21, page 52. 
For comparison, the spaces occupied by one- 
quarter of the collection under normal 
conditions is shown on an adjoining plan, 
7) "Condensed Aisle" stack is also indicated. 
Since the cost of the "Aisle Compression 
Electric" is practically as much as building 
a new stack area, including standard stacks, 
it may be considered too costly. As an 
alternate, it is suggested that: 
a) The normal stack aisles could be reduced 
in width to 22", permitting one more row 
of ranges in the same space, 
b) That an additional high shelf be added 
(allowed for in ceiling height), (Will 
require new posts), 
c) That main aisles be narrowed by introducing 
one more 3*-0" section in each range, 
(This would prohibit use of the moving 
camera now in use in this area. Photo 7, 
page 32), 
The above is on the assumption this area 
would be chiefly for storage of books no 
longer in active usage. 
This last arrangement would result in an 
over-run of the assigned area in "CV level 
by about 11%, as indicated on the plan in 
Exhibit 21, It is believed this could be 
eliminated or reduced by closer shelving than 
70% as might be practical with books, 
particularly serials already micro-filmed, 
such as those for use with the automatic 
storage and retrieval system. 
The cost savings of this method are indicated 
in the estimates. 
2, Growth of Microfilm Storage 
As noted in Paragraph III-D-4-b-2), the new film 
vault will be filled to capacity by FY 1974, At 
that time the NLM proposed to extend the vault 
capacity for an additional five years by the use 
of off-site vault facilities for the security 
collection, with on-site vault storage of printing 
masters , 
3• Graphic Image Storage and Retrieval System 
a. Specifications have been prepared for bidding 
for the installation of the first section of 
the Graphic Image Storage and Retrieval System, 
b. There are at least three systems now on the 
market - or developed - that will be able to 
meet the specifications with varying modifica- 
tions, Illustrations of two systems in use are 
shown in photographs 20 & 29 on pages 34 and 35, 
c. Basic Microforms, The NLM will create or obtain 
negative microimages of the Journal documents 
to be stored on 35mm roll film. The average 
document will consist of ten pages or less, 
d. Program, 
1) Depending on the manufacturer, the frames 
may be retained in roll form, or converted 
into microfische on plastic base cards. Each 
journal article would fit on a card. It has 
been estimated that only 20% of the articles 
would need more than one card, 
2) Space requirements for the systems under 
consideration would be approximately 190 sq.ft, 
to 250 sq.ft, per module containing the 
capacity to store 150,000 to 200,000 articles. 
It is estimated that the maximum number of 
modules required by 1974 would not exceed 
five (5), The total number of modules may 
be kept at five (5) indefinitely, if periodic 
discards are made. 
3) Production methods. The final product of this 
system will be inexpensive hard copy prints 
on sheets 8-1/2" and 11", with provision for 
automatic production of an entire article. STANDARD STACKS

4) Viewing file items. It will be possible to 
retrieve, under the control of the operator 
view, frame by frame a file item at stations 
other than that used by the primary 
duplicating devices. These auxiliary stations 
may be located near the storage devices, away 
from the devices but in the same building, 
or at a remote location, 
5) Remote copying. It will also be possible to 
generate enlargement prints of pages for 
items retrieved at certain auxiliary stations, 
6) Installation. Requirements for installation 
of the device will include any special 
electrical, plumbing, and ventilation require- 
ments; and requirements as to humidity limits, 
acoustical treatment, floor loading, dimen- 
sions, floor space for device and operator, 
safeguards against fire hazards, etc, 
e. Existing Installation 
1) Photo 20, page 34, shows an installation 
called a "Selectriever" which has a capacity 
of up to 200,000 documents which is in use 
in the Westinghouse plant in Buffalo handling 
their plan file, 
2) Photo 21 shows an assemblage of available 
equipment at a station, or "console”, for 
use of students in the M.I.T, library, 
assembled in Project "Intrex". It presently 
has access to a block of engineering texts 
and permits direct interrogation with the 
University computer, 
3) Photo 25, page 35, shows a punch tape data 
input machine for use with the M.I.T, 
University computer. 
4) Photo 26 shows the automatic storage and 
retrieval system being developed in Project 
"Intrex" at M.I.T, A small digital computer 
operates this device which will connect with 
ten (10) consoles, 
5) Photo 27 shows a working model of a console 
being especially designed for library use as 
part of Project "Intrex", It fits in a 
standard pedestal type desk, and will be readily 
adjustable to the physical requirements of 
different users. 
4• Development of the Biomedical Communications Network 
Engineering & Communications Center) 
a. The selection of a network for improving the 
information and educational services within the 
medical community will be primarily based upon 
the present state-of-the-art in communication 
and computer sciences, 
b. Present communications technology makes it 
imperative that all communication modalities 
including satellites be considered as possible 
means of interconnection for Biomedical Communica- 
tion Network on a nationwide basis. 
A pilot project, RISC (Remote Information Systems 
Center) is already in operation in the NLM 
connecting the Library by wire with the more 
than ten remote computer systems around the 
United States. 
In the near future there will be TV, audio and 
video interconnections between sites which at 
a later date may utilize satellites via 25-30 
foot antennae for transmitting and receiving 
purposes with ground connections to dedicated 
medical educational networks or to public ETV/ITV 
systems. This will permit more effective and 
less costly medical communications in support 
of specialized education. Ten foot (and smaller) 
antennae to allow direct satellite broadcasting 
to individual health centers, clinics and offices 
will probably be a still later phase of this 
project, 
TV, dial access telephone, commercial cables, 
etc, will also be used. 
c. The most highly developed example of an operating 
Network Center is the NASCOM installation at the 
Goddard Space Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, 
Although this installation is carried far beyond 
the relatively simple requirements of the LHNCBC, 
it does demonstrate the principles and methods 
involved. Photo 32, page 35, shows a part of 
the worldwide network control system, and Photo 
33 the control desk for system management opera- 
tions within the Center itself, 
d. Specifications to meet the requirements of the 
LHNCBC are being developed. 54 
Photo 25 shows the central control unit for the 
above classroom group. 
d. Photo 19 shows a mock-up of a dial access TV 
unit as part of the typical NLM carrell, 
e. A series of small rooms are planned adjacent 
to the main reading room. These would include: 
1) 16m/m auto-load moving picture projector. 
2) Several projection units in cubicles - 
Carousel, Audiscan, and 8m/m Fairchild (2) 
Mark IV single concept film projectors. 
3) Room for working, repair of equipment, video 
tape recorders and storage. 
f. It is proposed to designate and arrange a portion 
of the main reading room adjacent to these 
special rooms as a TV area. 
7, Audiovisual Production Facilities. NMAC. 
At this writing the NMAC will remain in Atlanta, 
Whether it combines with the LHNCBC, remains in 
its present location in the CDC complex in Atlanta, 
or relocates, it is faced with a large expansion 
program if it is to keep abreast of the demand for 
its services. 
This expansion is not part of this report. 
The overall program is detailed in Appendix II. 
Typical photographs of their activities are shown 
in Photos 13, 14, 15, page 33. 
C. Schematic Plans & Relationships 
1. Linkage. Physical relationship of the new building 
to the old, (See cross-section on page 57, and 
model photos on page 35. 
a. To preserve the integrity of the design of the 
existing NLM, which has in itself become a symbol, 
and to create an individual identity for the 
LHNCBC,it is proposed to keep the two structures 
separated above grade. 
e. Tentatively, the Center would be located in the 
top of the LHNCBC building with direct connection 
to the antennae systems located in the roof 
structure. Provision would be made for the 
public to visit both areas in a practical manner. 
f. The type of space for the installation would be 
a ’’special purpose” space with a standard 
’’pedestal” type raised floor with removable 
panels for ready access to wiring and cables in 
floor space, etc. to permit convenient installa- 
tion of new or additional equipment as system 
develops. 
5. Communications Laboratory Facilities 
Adjacent to the Communications Center or directly 
below would be the small block of laboratory 
facilities. Through floor channels, ducts and 
conduits they would have direct connections to the 
Network Center. 
The general type of space occupied would be 
’’Laboratory Space." 
At this time no detailed specifications of require- 
ments are available, 
6. Audiovisual Equipment & Use 
The New Building will permit research and practice 
in the use of audiovisual equipment as an essential 
part of the overall program for the dissemination 
of biomedical knowledge. 
a. Not only may new equipment be tested and methods 
worked out for its effective use, but classes 
and seminars may be held demonstrating the use 
of the equipment at the same time realizing a 
’’feed-back" on its effectiveness for this purpose, 
b. Since most of the equipment will be of the plug- 
in type it is assumed the space designated 
"Technical" will meet the requirements. 
c. For educational and classroom work an example 
of an existing instructional unit of three class- 
rooms with one central projection room as shown 
in Photo 26, page 34. This uses rear view 
projectors as well as TV screens and cameras. It 
includes a system for audience participation. 22

b. To permit the two units to function efficiently 
as one overall unit of the NLM, the three levels 
below grade "A”, ,rBM, & ”CM would be continuous. 
The major points of these connecting levels are 
as follows; 
1) Terrace Level, (See Exhibit 22, page 55 and 
Photo 34, page 35,) 
The new construction below grade would form 
a sort of podium providing a setting for the 
new LHNCBC building. The roof of this 
podium - over "A” Level - would form an out- 
door Terrace connecting the two buildings. 
While not the principal connection, a door 
from the main Reading Room of the NLM to the 
Terrace would permit access to the Terrace 
for use in pleasant weather for recreation 
or crossing over to the LHNCBC as well as, 
incidentally, to the parking space. 
The main entrance to the LHNCBC would be at 
the Terrace level as shown. To emphasize 
the vehicular approach and provide turning 
space, 15 car spaces would be sacrificed in 
the south end of the existing parking space. 
These would be regained in a new 85 car 
parking space to the west of the proposed 
LHNCBC, a net gain of 70 parking spaces. 
2) "A" Level. (See Exhibit 23, page 56). 
a) This is the principal communicating level 
for personnel & visitors. It will be 
noticed a continuous passage is indicated 
leading from the stairs or elevator at 
the main entrance of the NLM to the 
vertical circulation system of the LHNCBC. 
It also connects to the new auditorium on 
this level, facilitating joint use. The 
Billings Auditorium, equally accessible 
from the passage, in the old building, 
will be remodeled for smaller groups. 
b) For the interest of visitors, particularly 
those on tours of the building, along the 
passage in the NLM Building will be view 
windows into the activities of the Graphic 
Image Storage & Retrieval section and the 
RSD Photo duplication section. 
c) Activities of the Bibliographic Services 
Division located on this level in the NLM 
will be conveniently connected to the 
Reference & Catalog services above on the 
main floor by a principal stair. 
BSD Indexers and MEDLARS facilities will 
maintain continuity of space into the new 
structure and be located in close relation- 
ship to the OCES Input Unit as shown, 
d) The OCES Computer Room is tentatively 
located on this level in the S.W, corner 
in principle because it will be used by 
both the activities of the NLM and the 
LHNCBC, The corner location permits its 
future expansion with continuous space. 
3) MB,f Level, See Exhibit 24, page 57, 
a) "B" Level is principally a stack level in 
the NLM and will so be continued in the 
new structure. In both buildings the 
location is contiguous to the area under 
the existing parking space designated 
originally, and reserved for a future 
major expansion of the stacks. 
b) Additional truck loading and receiving 
space will be provided on this level for 
the complex, 
4) "C" Level, See Exhibit 24, page 57, 
As indicated, "C" Level maintains similar 
continuity of stacks as the level above. 
2• New Building 
a. Ground Floor. (Terrace Level) 
1) The entrance to the building is from the 
Terrace on the north side, (Model Photo 36, 
page 35). 
2) Parking spaces are in close proximity, 
3) In going through to the elevator core the 
visitor will pass through exhibition areas 
on either side of the foyer. 59 
4) On the far side of the lobby would be con- 
ference rooms - most convenient to visitors 
for the day coming to meetings from outside. 
Between sessions there would be ready access 
to the landscaped terrace. 
5) One flight down on "A" level would be the 
main Auditorium - again located primarily 
for convenience of visitors. 
6) As previously noted there would be all-weather 
access to the NLM on ”AIT level and also from 
the Terrace to the reading room. 
7) This Terrace, incidentally, would be a good 
location for a work by a talented artist. 
It is believed that 1% of the cost of a 
public building may be spent on such enhance- 
ment . 
b. Above Grade. Exhibit 24, page 57. 
Shows a typical floor plan divided into a pair 
of work areas either side of the elevator core. 
These areas may be subdivided in accordance with 
the requirements of the particular department 
and changed in the future in the manner of a 
conventional office building. 
c. Sections. Exhibit 24, 
The cross section shows how the space may be 
allocated in the Center, recognizing it primarily 
as a communications & technical facility; 
1) Roof. Roof top antennae of various types 
screened by non-magnetic construction for 
protection from weather and permit design 
symbol of the LHNCBC against the sky. It will 
be designed for access to visitors, 
2) Upper floors. As the principal "tenants" as 
well as for technical reasons related to the 
communications network, the LHNCBC itself is 
located on the upper floors. 
3) Middle floors. The SIS & OCES are located 
next below the LHNCBC as being the most 
closely related divisions in their functioning. 
4) Lower Floors. The EMP is indicated here as 
having no close ties with other departments. 
The additional space required for the LO, 
including Network Training, is indicated 
just above the ground floor as being nearest 
to the conference rooms as well as closer to 
the Main Library. 
3• Rehabilitation of NLM 
Changes as indicated on diagrammatic plans for 1974, 
(Exhibits 15A through 19A, pages 41, 43, 45, 47 & 49) 
D, Approach to Design of New Structure 
1• Location on Site 
a. With reference to the site model of existing 
condition (Photo 3, page 32) it will be seen 
there is; 
1) a small area available to the right rear of 
the building (NW), 
2) the parking space directly behind the building 
(W) but reserved for future stack expansion, 
3) a fairly large area to the south west. (The 
"Greenbelt" runs across the front of the 
building and round the south side of the 
N.I.H. reservation - more or less across the 
brook). 
b. The base section of the new building covers 
approximately 35,000 sq.ft. This last area to 
the southwest is the only place large enough 
for the new project on the NLM site. 
c. The site for the building has several advantages: 
1) Access by the road west of parking space 
permits it to have own entrance. 
2) Sloping site down to brook on south permits 
ready access to building at more than one 
level, as well as permitting windows to 
south. Presently convenient for Service 
Entrance, (Photo 35, page 35). 60 
3) Overall project lends itself to visual 
relationship with the new Fogarty Inter- 
national Center in facing it across the open 
parking space and own unoccupied area beyond. 
4) By taking part of south end of parking space, 
a dignified and convenient "off-streetM 
entrance plaza and turn around becomes 
possible. (Model Photo 35, page 35). 
2. General Shape & Design Characteristics 
a. The reasons for the large lower levels below 
grade tied in with the "AM, "B!l, & "CM levels 
of the NLM have already been given. Together 
they form a base structure or "podium" for the 
tower with its top designed as an effective 
terrace. This Terrace will be useful as a 
gathering place between seminars and lectures, 
for outdoor reading and for recreational 
purposes, 
b. From previous studies (Feasibility I) of a 
building of different heights, it had been con- 
cluded and accepted that a tower form would be 
most useful to the LHNCBC purposes and would 
also permit an expression of it as a unique 
communication center. The antennae platform 
could be designed to create an identifying 
symbol and at the same time act as a line of 
sight & weather screen to the antenna equipment. 
This equipment could be expected to change its 
shape at relatively frequent intervals as 
technical developments take place, and this 
might change the appearance of the top of the 
building unless so screened. 
c. The vertical strips in limestone recall the 
scale and major divisions of the NLM between 
its narrow windows. The limestone itself will 
be treated with the same pattern in the stone- 
work as the NLM, These would provide certain 
unifying elements, 
3. Future Expansion 
a. The present tower is thought of as creating the 
permanent image as seen from Wisconsin Avenue 
(Model Photo 34, page 35). It is designed to be 
expanded by a duplication of space on the west 
side (Model Photo 36, page 35). This would 
increase the importance of the north elevation 
which is the entrance side and which faces the 
Fogarty International Center. 
b, The above area of future expansion would now be 
used effectively for parking, 
c, The base, of course, would expand in the same 
direction as the tower, desirable for the exten- 
sion of the computer space and the mechanical 
space. Additional expansion of the base to the 
south would also be practical. Interior parking 
might then become necessary at lower levels. 
d, The stack expansion for the NLM reserved under 
the parking space has already been noted. 
V. CONSTRUCTION & COST 
A. Outline Specifications 
For the purpose of establishing the budget, it will 
be assumed that the following items are included: 
1. Site Development (See Site Plan Exhibit 22, page 55.) 
a. Grading and drainage. 
b. Roads, walks, new turnaround at building 
entrance, etc. 
c. Granite curbs, steps, terrace paving, etc. 
d. Exterior lighting. 
e. Planting and seeding. 
f. 85-car paved surface parking area, 
2, Utilities (See NLM Site Plan Exhibit 4, page 18). 
Conclusions on the extension of utilities on the 
part of the N.I.H. are not firm at this writing. 
The following assumptions, therefore, have been 
made for estimating purposes as an allowance. They 
will be subject to review by the Engineering Design 
Branch, Division of Research Services, N.I.H., for 
later establishment of actual scope of work. 
a. Cold Water Supply 
8" cold water main will be connected to existing 
service line to NLM building. 61
