John, the residential building followed US Army barracks design, using wood
and tar paper, so check records related to army architecture and
construction, since they handled the construction of the relocation centers
in the seven states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Idaho, Utah,
and Wyoming). There is a joint project with University of Arkansas Little
Rock and the Japanese American National Museum called "Life Interrupted:
Japanese American Experience in World War II Arkansas"
http://www.lifeinterrupted.org, which may have resources for you. Also
there is Jeffery Burton et al, Confinement and Ethnicity: An Overview or
Japanese American World War II Relocation Sites, put out by the National
Park Service. This contains drawings and images, but the plans themselves
should be available at the National Archives.

I am looking for anyone who is familiar with the Japanese Internment
(concentration) camps
that were built ca. 1940-42 for thousands of Japanese Americans.
I am specifically interested in the construction of the buildings,
especially the warehouses. I can find nothing on the Minidoka (Hunt,
Idaho) in the National Archives such as blue prints and construction
plans.
Is there anyone with knowledge of historical warehouses and the
structure of these buildings? I could forward you jpg pictures showing
the interior/exterior of our specific warehouse if that would help.
Thanks in advance.
