<div>The British Geological Survey is currently working with a partner on plans to build a new store at Keyworth, Nottingham, to house parts of our mineralogy and petrology collections. I am wondering if anyone else has built a new store during the current
challenging financial climate, and if so, how much expansion space they have been able to include?</div>
