The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of developing a collaborative collections storage facility for several museums and other non-profit organizations on Nantucket. Through extensive interviews, site visits, and other background research, we found there is an urgent need for climate-controlled, collections storage space. The team concluded that building a new facility under collective management was the preferred option.
