Conducting an adaptive space assessment for a new storage location to consolidate the Museum of Science’s cultural heritage materials.

The project will support an interdisciplinary team of Museum of Science staff and an external architect consultant to conduct an adaptive space assessment for a new storage location of the Museum’s cultural heritage materials within its existing multi-building campus. The team will evaluate, identify, and recommend a new space with the most potential for reconfiguration into a single, climate-controlled storage location rather than renovate the six existing storage locations that risk the long-term preservation of these materials.
