Museum facility management is a vital part of running a museum, but can involve special challenges that even knowledgeable facility managers have not encountered before. The target audience for this book is both museum administrators who need to learn more about facility management and facility managers who are stepping into the museum environment for the first time. This book fills a gap in museum administration literature by providing best practices guidance that can be used to increase efficiency, save money, and improve the guest experience.

Special attention is paid to:
-Strategic planning for cultural facilities,
-Special event preparations,
-Implementing sustainability initiatives,
-Predictive and reliability centered maintenance (RCM),
-Environmental controls for collections conservation, and
-Training for maintenance and operations personnel.
