<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our CSIRO Collections (of 15 Million specimens) are moving together into a new purpose-built building with us at design stage now. This will see all our digitisation equipment and imaging systems come together in the same room planned for
around 220 square meters in size.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking at requirements needed for specialised equipment ie. vibrations and vibration tables, air-flow, power etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As well, we are looking at requirements of the room ie. paint colour, window furnishings, lighting, temperature and humidity, acoustic dividers, blockout curtain around flash equipment etc<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in any information people care to share around this and any insight from anyone who has gone through this process with building/room design. In particular, any resources or reports that point out requirements would be helpful.
I’d also grateful accept any photos of digitisation rooms demonstrating what or how your digitisation rooms are set up. Feel free to brag with photos! : )<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our digitisation equipment includes such items as SEM, whole drawer system (Satscan), our high resolutions imaging systems (BK/Visionary digital and Gigamacro’s), Passport movable imaging systems, Slide scanner, UV imaging system, 3D scanner
and Lecia imaging microscopes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many (many) thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
