Because the Feds hadn't really gotten into the records management business until about 1952 I would doubt much thought had been given to records retention let alone "planned construction".  My father worked for a large, nationwide, oil & gas company and the records went into the basement of the office building 9or came home to our basement if there was an issue).  I'll be interested as to what Rob has found.  Dick King, University of Arizona Records Officer

Ok Listserv people. Let's test your powers and see how brilliant you are on a Monday.

Question: In the 1950s what was the standard recommendation for a planned construction of a Records Center or records/archival storage? Keep in mind sprinkler systems were probably still in early development for commercial and non-government use and not common. This would be in an operational setting of a business headquarters not long-term warehouse storage although it may have been similar. I might know the answer but I want to see if other concur with my theory.
