[Nhcoll-l] where are your ethanol collections?

[Colleen Evans]

Hi everyone,

Our museum is in the design phase of renovating an historic building for collections storage and eventually gallery space. Due to some architectural quirks, the floor that will house our collections is considered a basement level, even though it is not actually underground. Because of the basement classification we've run into issues with the fire code. The architecture firm we are working with is applying for a variance with the fire department so we can renovate a space on that floor for our ethanol collection.

The architecture firm thinks it will be helpful to have the following information from other institutions:

1.      What floor is your ethanol collection housed on?

2.      Were there any special requirements for that space, such as fire rating for the walls, specific ventilation requirements, floor drainage or something else?

Responses can be sent off-list.

Thank you,
Colleen
