The headquarters of NBI, purchased by UCAR last week, was built in 1981-82. It includes three major wings connected by pedes-trian walkways (far left and far right). NCAR staff can view the buildings at an open house this Saturday; see the article below formore details. (Photo by Bob Bumpas.)

"NCAR North" Acquired from NBI; Move-In Begins Soon

Months of uncertainty over theconsolidation of NCAR's scatteredoperations ended Friday when UCAR,with approval from the NationalScience Foundation, purchased the 16-acre NBI headquarters in northeastBoulder and its 250,000 gross squarefeet (26,900 square meters) of buildingspace. The transaction was madethrough G.B. Ventures, a developerwho had purchased an option on thecomplex from NBI.

George Lamb, Facilities andSupport Services (FSS) manager, said

ne building complex-initially to beTnown as "NCAR North"-will un-dergo extensive internal remodelingover the next year. NCAR staff will

be moved in gradually as each phaseof renovation is completed. The avail-able space at NCAR North exceedsthe amount that was planned for amesa addition, and the cost (includingseveral million dollars for remodel-ing) will be considerably less.

NCAR director Bob Serafin andUCAR president Rick Anthes willdecide in the next few weeks whichdivisions and programs will occupythe new building and which willremain at, or move to, the Mesa Lab.Later this year, group meetings willbe held to allocate space at NCARNorth among its future occupants.Several FSS staff plan to set up shop atNCAR North in mid-April, including

NCAR North is located just east ofFoothills Parkway (47th Street), northof Valmont Road, and south of theDiagonal Highway. (Motorists shoulduse the Foothills frontage road andturn east on Mitchell Lane.) The com-plex includes three buildings, roughlyon an east-west axis, built of exposedearth-tone aggregate precast panels.The buildings are connected byenclosed pedestrian bridges andserved by 803 parking spaces. Exteriorcourts and landscaped areas create acampus-like setting, and atriums bringnatural light into the core of eachbuilding.

Key advantages of the complex forNCAR science include a 15-foot(4.5-meter) ceiling clearance, sixloading docks, and a freight elevator,all in the east building. The area willlikely be adapted for maintenance ofinstrument trailers and other bulkyequipment. George also expectschanges in the buildings' supportsystems (electrical hookups, heatingand cooling, and the like) and foreseesthe chance of a few major structural re-visions, such as adding an entrance tothe east building.

In the agreement signed lastFriday, NBI will vacate the westbuilding by 1 June, the east buildingby 1 August, and the central buildingby 31 March 1991. George anticipatesmoving staff to NCAR North severalmonths after each deadline. "It wouldbe great to move some staff out at theend of September," when some ofNCAR's contracts for leased spaceexpire, he says.

Two open houses are beingarranged so that staff and theirfamilies can tour the NCAR Northcomplex. The buildings will be openon successive Saturday mornings,April 7 and 14, from 8:00 a.m. to noon.Tours will run 30 to 45 minutes,beginning each hour from 8:00 to11:00 a.m. at the central building'smain entrance; NCAR staff will serveas tour guides.

Delphi Question: New Building

Editor's Note: The following four-partDelphi Question was answered on29 March by Bob Serafin. Responses areplaced after the appropriate queries.

Question (12 February): I have somequestions concerning issues related tothe new building:

(1) In the 1 February issue of StaffNotes, it is said that several actionshave already been taken to reducetraffic. It is mentioned that vendordeliveries prior to 7:00 a.m. have beencurtailed. This would seem to be arather modest reduction. Just howmany daily trips have been eliminatedby this step?

Answer: The traffic objectives are toreduce vehicle miles traveled, reshapethe trips-each-hour profile, andimprove safety on the streets ingeneral, with emphasis on the portionof Table Mesa Drive past Bear CreekSchool. We took action to preservethe early morning tranquility of theneighborhood by asking vendors toeliminate early trips up the mesa.Thus, no trips have been eliminatedother than the newspaper deliverypeople who could not work with thatlimitation.

(2) Exactly what are the other actionsthat have been taken to reduce trafficthat are referred to?

Answer: Actions to date have centeredon the safety and reshaping objec-tives. Very little reduction of trips hoccurred. When the trash compactois operational, the trash truck tripswill be reduced from five to one perweek.

(3) In the memo to the general staffon 26 January it is stated that thesafety of the schoolchildren at BearCreek Elementary School is of thehighest priority. This would indicatethat cut-through traffic on Vassarshould be encouraged, rather thaneliminated as suggested. What is thegoal of eliminating traffic on Vassar?

Answer: The objective of improvingsafety at Bear Creek School andreducing traffic at Vassar are not inopposition. Perfect achievement ofthe objectives would produce pedes-trian safety at Bear Creek School andwould reduce the Vassar traffic toonly those who live in the neighbor-hood.,

Page 3*Staff Notes*5 April 1990

a) To date, what is the sum total ofall fees (particularly architect's fees)that have been incurred with regardto the new building?

Answer: To date, approximately $1.2million have been spent on the newbuilding project.

Questions and suggestions from the staff to management may be submitted in confi-dence to the Delphi coordinator, Belinda Housewright (ML room 15C, ext. 1310) inwritten form; they must be signed. Detailed procedures for submitting questions aregiven in the NCAR Procedures Manual, section 2-5. Questions and answers of generalinterest to the staff are submitted to Staff Notes by Belinda unless the questioner saysshe may not. They may be edited for publication.

Announcements

Spring Party Is Tomorrow

Sharp dressers have only onemore day to make their wardrobeselections for "Puttin' on the Ritz," theNCAR spring party. Festivities willbegin at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow, 6 April,in the Mesa Lab's main lobby withannouncement of the 1989 Perform-ance Awards. The 1990 NCAR T-shirtwill be unveiled and staff designersrecognized at 3:30 p.m., and the party

ill continue thereafter. Black tie isoptional, but spiffy attire may net youone of the $25 prizes for the classiestmen's and women's costumes.

Don't Drink and Drive

The Employee Activities Commit-tee is concerned about staff drivingafter drinking at EAC functions.Colorado law states that you aredriving under the influence (DUI) ifyour blood alcohol content (BAC) is0.10% or higher. You are drivingwhile ability impaired (DWAI) if yourBAC is between 0.05 and 0.099%.Either violation will get you arrested.

Please designate a nondrinkingdriver when attending staff parties. Ifyou are at an NCAR party and feelyou have had too much to drink, anyEAC member will call a taxi for youor find you a ride home. EAC repre-entatives have also been asked toeep an eye out for possible DUI/

DWAI candidates. For more informa-tion, call Selena Slyter, ext. 1414.

SCD Seminar to Explain GraphicsCode Conversion

The Scientific Computing Divi-sion is presenting a seminar onconverting graphics codes to theGraphical Kernel System (GKS)version of NCAR Graphics. Anycodes that use the pre-GKS version ofNCAR Graphics (which was based onthe NCAR System Plot Package, orNSPP) must be converted. The pre-GKS system will not be available orsupported after 1 October, when theCRAY X-MP/48 is retired and thenew CRAY Y-MP8/864, runningUNICOS, will have been installed.

The seminar will cover recom-mended conversion steps, changes inthe coordinate systems, clipping,other differences between the pre-GKS and GKS systems, and anexample of code conversion. Theseminar will be presented twice onsuccessive Wednesdays, 18 and25 April, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. inRL-6 room C124 (18 April) and in theMain Seminar Room of the Mesa Lab(25 April).

ACD Makes Mondays User Friendly

Where were you Monday,26 March, between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m.?If you were anywhere but in the MainSeminar Room at the Mesa Lab, youmissed Greg Kok's homemade L.A.smog demonstration using ozone andan orange, his instant destruction of arubber band (ozone again), and hisacid rain wizardry (hydrogen perox-ide turning sulfur dioxide intosulfuric acid).

The Atmospheric ChemistryDivision (ACD) is continuing toeducate and entertain the NCAR staffand others each week with its ongoingAtmospheric Chemistry and GlobalChange series. Now a little overhalfway through, the user-friendlyseries still has five more talks to go.John Gille will give a satellite's-eyeview of global change (9 April), andAlan Fried and Brian Ridley willdescribe the role of sulfur and nitro-gen oxides in the atmosphere (16 and23 April). The last two presentationswill cover biosphere-atmosphereinteractions (Pat Zimmerman, 30April) and methane (Stan Tyler,7 May).

Designed to round out thescientists and round up the nonscien-tists on staff into the world of chemis-try, the series will at the very leastshow you who these chemists are andthe ingenious things they cook upover in the south tower. The talks areevery Monday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.If you need more information, callChris Ennis, ext. 1469.
