All - Our museum is in the early stage of preparing for expansion.  We


would like to hire an outside consultant to provide a space analysis to


help us prioritize our "needs," assess our current facility, and make
recommendations regarding both a new facility and how we might
simultaneously remodel our current building. We are searching for a
consultant with significant museum experience.  Ideally, with library
experience as well.  In many ways it would be better for us if this
perso
n
is not an architect.

We welcome recommendations from our colleagues who have been through
this

process recently. Were you able to go through the selection process
witho
ut
being inundated with unsolicited contacts? (Yes, they're already coming
o
ut
of the proverbial woodwork...)

Thank you!

Carmen Langel
