The new AIP headquarters

JAN 01, 1957

When the AIP moves into its new location next summer, physicists will have in New York a service headquarters of which they can be proud. Although strict economy is necessarily being observed in the process of converting the manufacturing building which has been bought, the result will be an excellent, functional office. Everything inside its four walls will be modern and designed for efficient operation. There will be new flooring, walls, partitions, ceilings, lighting, heating, and ventilating. There will be a modern passenger elevator, a modest but attractive reception room, and a Board Room available for the use of physicists’ committees. The façade will be dressed up just a little bit, as compared with its present “factory” appearance, to make it worthy of the physicists’ organizational headquarters.
