CONCLUDING REMARKS
One comment on the crew area here .
I think that the
crew area here is a real good place to stay and that
the kitchen facility we have set up i ~: very worth­
while, when a real tight schedule is almost a neces­
si ty.
However, the bedrooms are not ~:oundproof at
all. You can hear anything throughout the whole
thing.
Any noise at all that goes on, or a tele­
vision or radio playing anywhere thr01:.ghout the whole
thing is very easily heard throughout the enti re
building.
I say this only because this was one of
t he suggestions that we had before t he place was ever
build, that the bedrooms be soundproofed.
This was
based on our old Hangar S experiences.
Due to the
fact that heavy construction is going on all the
time , this place is completely useless so far as
daytime sleeping.
There is no possibility of sleep
around here during the day due to the jackhammers
and construction work going on.
So, if any shift
work is going on, I recommend that someone keep them
a motel room, and sleep during the day at the motel
room if you are working night shifts around here and
