Faculties managers estimated that m^Oor repairs costing about $1 rmlUon, 

 such as replacing a roof or an hvac system, typically take from 3 to 5 years 

 to implement from the time when laboratory management miUaUy propose 

 the repair until completion. This time involves waiting for funding to be 

 made available, procunng contractors, and designing and making the 

 repair In some cases, the delay in making repairs is longer. An example is 

 the replacement of a laboratory buildings roof at Wright Laboratory 

 located on the Wnght-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio^The roof 

 replacement, estimated to cost $1.5 million, was delayed for 10 years 

 because of limited funding available for repairs at Wright-Patterson. 

 Facilities personnel installed a small stnicture with a pitched roof and a 

 gutter around equipment in the laboratory to protect it from rain water 

 leaking through the buildings roof (See center of fig. III.l.)
