All museum professionals who have been or will be involved in a building
project (e.g., addition, renovation, new building) between 2000 and 2015 are
encouraged to participate in this survey. In addition to basic information,
the survey includes questions about planning, developing the design,
finances, fundraising, communications, closings/openings, staffing and
oversight, and evaluation.  The Museum Building Programs survey is being
used to gather data for the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museum's annual
"Building Museums" symposium.  Please pass this message along to your
colleagues involved in museum construction projects.
