Concept Program

The following concept program is based on the preceding assumptions and typical staffing levels for a museum of this size and nature. The square footages indicated by the program do not match exactly those of the concept plan. In most cases the plan, if scaled, will indicate a larger square footage. The total net square footage at the end of the program has been multiplied by a "net to gross" factor of 1.5. A factor this large is not unusual when trying to fit a new facilities program into an older building. It also takes into consideration circulation and utility spaces not reflected in the program.
