When faced with the task of renovating a building or planning a new one, archivists often are unfamiliar with the building process and information needed by architects and contractors. This two-day workshop provides you with the knowledge and skills required to work successfully with architects, engineers, and/or facilities managers to design and build new or remodeled archival facilities: work, reference, storage, and public spaces designed to meet the needs of individual archival programs, their staffs, and their users.
Using lectures, case studies, and exercises, the instructors address such issues as technical requirements, building renovation, equipment (e.g., shelving), and moving an archives collection into the facility. A tour of a recently remodeled facility concludes the program on day two.
In this workshop you’ll:
- Acquire a clear understanding of the design and building processes involved in creating new or remodeled facilities;
- Learn about the various roles of those involved in the design process and what the archivist must do to ensure that the final building design meets collection, staff, and user needs; and
- Develop an awareness of the technical requirements needed for archival facilities and how to communicate those needs to architects and engineers who are unfamiliar with those standards.
Who should attend? Archivists who are planning new or remodeled facilities and who have a basic understanding of archival principles and procedures and of how those principles interact with archival facilities. This workshop is also useful for managers of larger archival facilities who carry out minor or major renovation projects on an ongoing basis.
Attendance is limited to 35.
