DIVING AND LIFE SUPPORT ENGINEERING FACILITY

CN3SRJ / NEW DIVING AND LIFE SUPPORT ENGINEERING FACILITY CIP PROJECT The Diving and Life Support Engineering Facility will be an approximately 120' X 40' structure with an open high bay on one end. It will include an office space able to accommodate 9 workstations, three dedicated RDT&E labs spaces, a conference room with kitchenette, and two unisex restrooms. A large frontal roll-up door is to be included in the high bay to provide sufficient clearance to safely support all internal handling operations. See attached project quad sheet, list of facility requirements, and concept sketches. Preferred site for new facility is a replacement facility for B584. Construction of this facility will extend a significant cost savings to E-Dept by removing the logistical problems associated with having numerous satellite work areas coupled with off-site storage. By eliminating these logistical issues, more of our sponsor allocated funding will be devoted to end product design and integration.
