The building demolition plan 1965-1970, a part of the Master Planning Program, report no. 4: report, 1966 Feb 25.

"The criteria used for selection of buildings and structures for demolition are influenced by a number of important factors: The extension of road "c" to the east will become a part of the primary road system, the framework of future land use and development patterns. A parking facility will be provided at the easterly entrance to the Laboratory to replace the present one in the arroyo when its lease will expire in 1970. Some buildings are to be removed because they impede the eventual goal of overall integration and efficient communication between buildings. Some buildings have become unsuitable for further conversion, are obsolete, and constitute a maintenance cost problem. Two buildings have to be cleared because they occupy an area which will become a part of the Metropolitan Water District's Feather River Feeder System in 1968 (buildings 191 and 173). Demolition of buildings Nos. 130, 67, 156 and 185 is required to provide sites for the extension of high priority facilities essential to expanded missions and programs. It must be emphasized, however, that regardless of any specific reason for demolition, all these buildings have become obsolete, either because their original purpose has been accomplished or superseded, or, because the provisions of the Master Planning Program call for consolidation of related facilities."
