Budget figures I use range from $200 per square foot at the low end to $450
per square foot if I plan to include interactives and built elements.

These, obviously, are extreme generalizations.

good luck,

I'm looking for broad generalizations, as I was not given enough time to do
thorough research:  average costs for historical exhibit construction.
Again, I know there are MANY variables, but I'm looking for general
estimates for lower-end to moderately priced exhibits.  A per-square-foot
