Cheryl,

Have you talked to the Mark Twain House? They have a new gallery
underground, so as not to interrupt the view of the historic house - plus it
is environmentally more efficient.

As for book on museum space, have you tried "Museum Design; Planning and
Building for Art" by Darragh and Snyder?

Best,
Ware

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Green roof and planning resources

Hello all,

Thank you so very much for your replies.  Apologies for not being more
specific in my question.  I am concerned about a proposed green roof (or
even roof garden) planned above our Gallery because of the potential for
leaks and bug infestation.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Also, if anyone can recommend any books or other resources on
building/facilities planning (e.g. ratio of public vs. admin/storage space
in a Museum/Gallery, etc)  I would be most grateful.  I have a few on
loan, but they do not seem to have the information I am looking for.

Best,
Cheryl
