THE USNEL SUPPORT FACILITY 

 FOR TRIESTE 



The present support facility for the bathyscaph TRIESTE 

 is located at the NEL waterfront area and consists of four 

 major components: 



1. Administrative spaces 



2. Shop and indoor storage areas 



3. Pier and outdoor work spaces 



4. Afloat equipment 



1. ADMINISTRATIVE SPACES 



The administration of the TRIESTE program includes 

 the management of the program funds, planning of opera- 

 tions, and maintenance planning. In addition, since the 

 program largely uses what may be termed "nonstandard" 

 procedures and procurement, considerably more time than 

 usual must be devoted to simplest details. Full time 

 administrative help is not presently assigned to this pro- 

 gram, with the result that the program managers are also 

 their own secretaries. The present administrative spaces 

 consist of: 



a. Private office space (156 square feet) for the Deep 

 Submergence Research Program Coordinator. 



b. Private office space (143 square feet) for the 

 Officer-in-Charge and the Assistant Officer- in- Charge. 



c. Conference room (2 34 square feet) equipped for 

 use of visual aids. 



d. Lobby area (143 square feet) also equipped as 

 secretary's office. 



e. Study room/library (221 square feet) situated for 

 maximum privacy, used for preparing reports and program 

 proposals, and also for analyzing data from operations. 

 This space contains all technical and diving information 

 related to TRIESTE. 



f. Visiting scientists' office (168 square feet), for use 

 of visiting scientists working with TRIESTE.
