Site Planning.

Preliminary site planning has been given consideration in

connection with this Report, and several Plates are included which show in general
an arrangement of buildings and facilities for Parry Island, Eniwetok Island and
each of the Experiment Islands.

This planning has been based upon the use of the

prefabricated aluminum structure previously discussed, and tc provide for six
hundred personnel on Parry Island, consisting of two hundred Scientists, and
four hundred assistants ami workmen in the various trades, including construction
and repair, six hundred Military personnel on Eniwetok, in the proportion of two
hundred Officers and four hundred enlisted men, and two hundred on each of the
Experiment Islands divided as follows:

Fifty Scientists and Officers, and one

hundred and fifty workmen and enlisted men.

The number and classification of

personnel is an assumption based upon preliminary thoughts of the Laboratory,
and these quantities as well as the ratio of different classifications are subject to change at any time.

In fact use of the aluminum structure lends itself

very readily to great flexibility, inasmuch as the length of buildings can be
varied easily in increments of three feet, and the number of buildings can readily be increased or decreased as requirements indicate.

Parry Island.

This island is planned as the civilian headquarters island and

inasmuch as there is no usable housing on the island, it is possible to plan the
general arrangement of all facilities without regard to existing structures, ex=cept in a few locations which do not materially effect the general arrangement.
There are a number of warehouses on Parry Island which at the present time are
in relatively good condition, and it is planned to use these as long as they are
fit for use.
struction.

These warehouses will be useful during the early periods of conThe general arrangement of housing quarters is toward the ocean side

which is the windward side.

Buildings for housing personnel are oriented to

take the greatest advantage of the breeze, which is quite constant in direction.
