Construction of larger headquarters facilities, perhaps in the environs of The National Capital, will bring all of the SCPI activities into a single location, and will be a continuation of plans begun at the 1963 convention of the Institute. At that time, the Structural Clay Products Research Foundation was merged into the Institute and became SCPI's Research Division.
