workable layout provides multiple ways see without following single course.

handicapped access portions of facility.

large enough lobby or entry allow crowds waiting enter , storage of coats, strollers, etc. in secure facility. (i got coat stolen @ art museum in houston!)

multiple restrooms, in lobby , on every floor or in every section.

office space staff.

storage space portions of collection not on exhibit.

work rooms collections maintenance, repair, etc.

small auditorium lectures collection staff or visiting artists.

sufficient wiring allow exhibits rely heavily on video, neon, etc.
