We hope you'll enjoy this little look around our complex. The hub of the Center is the brand-new Giles Hall, purpose-built to serve ADRC functions - scientific, academic, and administrative. Giles Hall was intentionally situated to connect the nearby buildings which house activities related to the ADRC. The resulting complex is a self-contained high-tech all-weather facility highly resistant to fire, flood, and famine.


F. A. Giles Hall
Our new building. The Center boasts the very latest in research facility design and construction. An optimal venue is thus created for the various cutting-edge technologies involved in the study of universal reference measurement systems.

Adjoining Giles Hall are...
C.A. and X.Q. Morthan Hall
Houses the world's premier museum collection of Discarded Measurement Systems and Disused Standards, and the offices of the PL Metric Conversion Perpetual Feasibility Study.
FMMSDRPS Laboratory Complex
The laboratories of the Bureau's Forensic Mis-Applied Measurement System Disaster Reconstruction and Prevention Section.

MRK/Ritsalko Conference Center and Heliport
The ADRC's renowned academic conference facilities are popular among the various travelling committees of world standards bodies. The well-equipped meeting spaces double as overflow lecture rooms for the College.
The Ritsalko Heliport is home to the College's Experimental Ornithopter and VTOL Couch Team, and was the first aerodrome to receive EPA certification as a "Green" facility, with all air traffic and lighting systems completely powered by a renewable energy source - the nearby solar furnace. The Heliport boasts 15 commuter hangar bays and is a registered Civil Defense structure, providing the secondary escape route required on the premises of a solar furnace.
