Workshops on environment

NYU Conservation Environment Workshops
Spring 2003

The following workshops will be offered March 31 through April 2,
2003, as part of the Building and Construction Seminar Series at the
New York University Real Estate Institute.  They are a series of
separate one-day seminars from 9am to 5:30pm.  The topics are
selected to be practical and useful in planning and managing
collection environments, and are intended for museum, library and
archives professionals, such as conservators, curators, archivists,
registrars and directors, as well as for architects, engineers and
others involved in construction and facilities management for
collections-holding institutions.  Each workshop is eligible for 9
hours of AIA continuing education credits.

March 31, 2003

    This seminar discusses the issues involved in establishing safe
    "conservation" environments for preservation of museum, library
    and archive collections.  Environmental goals are discussed for
    humidity, temperature, lighting, particulate control, gaseous
    contamination, and collection safety.  Solutions to typical
    situations and problems are discussed for architecture,
    lighting, HVAC and building envelopes, including precautions to
    take in the design, construction and operation of conservation
    environments.  Low-cost as well as fully- financed improvements
    are discussed.  1.0 CEU; AIA-9 Hours.

    This seminar discusses how to establish a monitoring program for
    conservation environments in museums, libraries, and archives.
    Practical methods to monitor humidity, temperature, lighting,
    particulates, gaseous contamination and collection safety are
    discussed along with suggested equipment and practical field
    techniques.  1.0 CEU; AIA-9 Hours.

April 2, 2003

    This seminar discusses the assessment, improvement, management,
    and operation of HVAC systems for preservation environments in
    museums, libraries, and archives.  Functional characteristics
    and typical configurations are considered, with efficacy, cost,
    and maintenance implications. Special cold storage and
    desiccant- based environments are outlined, as well as solutions
    for small projects and what typically goes wrong with installed
    systems.  1.0 CEU; AIA-9 Hours.
