Barbara,
yes I would really recommend it: it is so convenient that you have elektricty etc wherever you want it and all the cables are just underneath the floor
there exist types of raised floors on which you can drive with a forklift but they are much more expensive
our temporary exhibtion area has two large gates to a corridor, we can drive with a forklift to the gate and then switch to a pallet

Thanks for the replies!
Patricia, can you elaborate - if you have it in the temporary exhibitions
gallery, but you can't drive a forklift over it, would you still recommend
it to a new museum? We're trying to figure out if it's worth the extra
money. As you pointed out it would be great for flexibility, especially for
water exhibits.

we have a raised floor on our lower level with electricity, data,
compressed air and water under it.
it is very convenient , especially in our area for temporary exhibitions.
we have ca 15 cm empty space under the raised wooden tiles, which means that
if you need to get a cable from a to b you sometimes have to lift a lot of
tiles if I could do it again I would seriously consider having one meter
technical space under the raised floor as I have seen in other places (they
then also have the climatisation in the raised floor)
we don't have a raised floor on the upper level and in our water area, I
would have preferred to have a raised floor also in the water area, that
would be easier for drainage
the raised floor has one big drawback: there is a max weight for points, for
moving objects, for totall mass of exhibits: we cannot drive with a forklift
into the exhibition area and when we need to use a level worker we have to
look for a light model and use wooden boards to distribute the weight
kind regards,
Patricia
