Much But Not Enough

In the last few years, the Government has
launched building program in Washington that
it calls unparalleled in history"
Yet even when it's completed in 1866 there1l
still be 22576 employees left Shunted into "tempos"
and thousands more in rundown, outdated buildings.
Right now the space shortage is so acute that long
time plans to demoliSh more tempos have been can
celed and new, cabinet-leve study of space needs
is being launched.
Over the years. the 24O employees of 1915 have
reached "a million in 1851 Federal construction has
helped make Washington one Of the worlds most
usually notable cities But for many of the 246000
Federal employees in the washington area the

Major buildings in the design stage include two

avenue entrance to the, Tenth Street Mall, on the
south side of Independence avenue S.W They will
provide Defense Department office space. =, 80
Another huge building now being designed is
the Smithsonian's $40 million Air Museum It will
extend from Fourth to Seventh Streets between the
Mall. and independence avenue S.W. Completion of
this and other Smithsonian buildings will transform
the Mall into "one of the most impressive museum
centerS in the world" GSA says.
Still other Washington buildings not yet author
zeo by congress are proposed in the agencys lOyear
program extending to 1866, Among them are extern

Uncle Sam Builds

Back in 1876 the Federal Government had 24O
employees, only four departments and shortage Of
office space that acute. 1t has remained acute
through the years. and it looks if it viii continue
to be acuten spite of unprecedented construction
program-for long time to come.
In the early days of Washington, the Government
had only three buildings State, War and Navywest
of the White House, the Treasury east of it, and
Blodget's Hotel into which the Post Office Depart
ment and the Patent office crammed
Treasury burned down in 1888. Blodget's Hotel
went up in flames three years later So desperate
was the space situation then that entire bureaus
were stashed away in leased dwellings all over town

The Tempo Problem

During the last year-GSA men add with salts
faction-a total of seven temporary buildings have
been demolished But these mems worried look returns
when they mention the 437OOO square feet of space
they lost when the tempos came down.
Many hundreds of thousands of square feet of
tempo space were lost for example when buildings
were razed to make way for the District Stadium now
being completed at the end of East Capitol street
TITS like taking one step forward and a half
step backward" one GSA man said
Thus huge as it is, the current construction
program will not provide full gain, since some
existing space already has been torn down, and
other temporary obsolete buildings eventually will
have to CO.
Considered without relation to the need, the
more than a dozen buildings under construction,
being designed for early start, just completed
constitute the largest building program under
taken in the Nations Capital Not even the Federal
Triangle approaches it in size.
The already completed $57 million State Depart
ment Building is not only one of WashingtonS most
elegant 1t iS alSo second only to the Pentagon in
size, though hardly than fraction larger than
the huge General Accounting Office built almost
a decade ago. New State is at Twenty second and
C streets NV.
Also now completed is the SIS million Education
Building (alSo known Federal Office Building
and as thei"punch card" building owing to its dis
tinctively repetitive, many -windowed facade). It
fronts on Maryland between Fourth and Sixth
streets S.W.

Now Being Built

Notable among buildings now under construction
is the Third House office Building going up under

Capitol This huge $40 million concrete -and-steel
edifice at independence and First street sW
will surpass the State Department in cost, and

in 1868.
Ahead for the Capitol area is James Madison
Memorial Building, plus underground structure,
