Auschwitz I at the very beginning was made up of 20 buildings (14 had one-story and 6 two-story), as well as two SS administrative blocks. Expansion began in 1941: upper floors were added to the single-story structures, and eight additional two-story blocks were erected on part of the roll-call square. After expulsion a camp complex of 28 brick built blocks was formed. Most of these were used to house prisoners, while the remainder were used as the camp hospital, warehouses, offices and a jail.
