Project's Sixth Year
CRC Now Enclosed in Brick, Due for Occupancy in 2004

By Rich McManus

A building is big when you can't see it in one glance, but must crane your neck to take it all in. The new Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center, begun in 1997 and recently enclosed in pink brick, is a big building. And a complicated one. Now about 80 percent finished, with construction due to conclude in March 2004 and occupancy to commence a month later, the project is at peak employment with respect to trades; some 600-700 workers are onsite daily, said Yong-Duk Chyun, project director for the Office of Research Services.

But Lawrence Self, director of NIH's Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management, which sponsored the program, said he was instantly reassured by coworkers in his office: The observance will be fine, they told him. Women always rise to the occasion.
