What decisions need to be made in the preconstruction of a specialized storage facility?

The Polly Rosenbaum State Archives and History Building serves as a specialized storage facility for state archives, artifacts, and public records that require special climate controls and protections from environmental and mechanical hazards.

The goal of the project was to build a facility that will conserve and protect unique historical materials, provide the first-ever major not-for-profit treatment facility for unique historical materials serving Arizona governmental units, provide a state-of-the-art laboratory for repair and conservation of unique research materials and enhance research access to unique research materials through the use of emerging technologies.
