Re: archival design issue



It is unclear whether the non working windows would be in the public and
staff areas as well as in the stack areas.  I could live quite well with
no windows at all in the stack area, but would certainly prefer windows
at least some of which should be able to be opened in the staff areas.
I would not want windows that could be opened in any room used by
researchers or used for exhibits.
I believe that there are now windows available that would enable you to
economize on climate control and suggest that you urge your
designers/architects to look into them as alternatives.
Although I would prefer to have some windows that could be opened, I
would open them only in an emergency situation such as off-gassing or a
complete failure of the climate control system.
