These activities include constructing new buildings; reconfiguring existing spaces to accommodate new services; repairing existing space and structure, including safety, power, and comfort systems; and restoring deteriorating interior and exterior structural features. The planning and implementation of this volume of work has been overseen by a qualified internal team that is required to justify and prioritize needs, advocate for funding, and execute structural changes around fully operational laboratories in a highly regulated and sensitive patient and animal care activity.

The ICs and the administrative units, the latter situated within the Office of the Director, and nonfederal asset holders such as the Foundation and the Children's Inn have been assigned significant amounts of square footage categorized as "administrative." Eleven organizational units occupy 38 percent of all administrative space, and 33 percent of all "other" space occupies approximately 15 percent of the assigned space on the Bethesda Campus (734,021 SF)

Originally, as part of the NIH FY 2007 Appropriation Act,8 Congress authorized NIH to spend IC operating funds of up to $2,500,000 per project to cover costs associated with altering, repairing, or improving NIH facilities. A similar provision was included in the FY 2009 President's budget request, limiting the total IC operating funds expenditures for renovations, alterations, and repairs to no more than $35,000,000 for the year.

For example, decoupling the funding and ability to implement the infrastructure projects as a systematic restoration/upgrade program from individual Master Plan projects can improve current levels of service and sustainability, while simplifying the planning and implementation of system upgrades. These infrastructure projects can be implemented faster than the more complicated development of individual laboratory and support structures because they can be designed and procured in advance of specific building projects.

Recommendation 4.3: NIH should adopt and implement a Deferred Maintenance and Repair program focused on building and utility system condition data that will minimize or eliminate specific failures that are disruptive to mission accomplishment and to reduce Backlog of Maintenance and Repair while attaining the building Condition Index (CI) target stated in the Master Plan.
