ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

For what reasons would you consider a raised floor?  Electrical and data feeds?  If you hate having cables dangling from above or those ugly cord covers across the floors  a raised system would be idea.

BUT, It has been my experience over the years that this gets suggested at some point early on and then when the cost is revealed it gets dropped.  Modular systems only work as well as the institution has staff, time and resources to actually make the modifications or reconfigurations.

Hopefully we will hear from some institutions that have actually used one and see how they weigh in.
