The two-level Collections Storage is a behind-the-scenes but essential area that preserves and protects artifacts not required for exhibition. Compact shelving and special storage units will allow the collections management team to maximize this space, accommodating objects that range in size from commemorative medals to large power plants when they are not in a public display space. The nearby collections processing unit will receive objects via a dedicated loading dock, where they will be inspected, catalogued, photographed, and prepared for exhibition or storage.
