The primary objective is to provide highly efficient storage for a percentage of the Hood Museum collection. Programmatic components include:

• High density storage system suitable for two- and three-dimensional art
• Open work space configured to allow viewing of objects by scholars or students
• Loading dock with crating/un-crating area
• Mechanical and toilet facilities

The objects being stored in this facility require the following:

• Temperature and humidity control to museum standards
• Partial redundancy of mechanical equipment in the event of system failure
• Security control with video capture
