Roadmap for Facility Improvements: Balancing Multiple Objectives

All Cultural Organizations are striving for improved visitor experience, more cost-effective operations, better energy and water sustainability, quality exhibit space, climate control for collections, new technologies, and elimination of any adverse CO2 impact. But this has to be balanced with aging facilities, budget challenges, regulatory requirements, local development regulations, and historic facility protection.

Take a couple minutes to share your biggest challenges and then register for our shared practice meeting to hear a case study on how the Hofsburg Innsbruck Museum (Austria) is working on a roadmap to achieve their goals.
