QUESTION: For the Space Shuttle Exhibit project, please confirm access to the Cold War Gallery will be through aircraft hangar doors. And if so, that all display aircraft and crowd control railings to be relocated to allow for reasonable access of cranes, flatbed trucks and commercial service vehicles to the designated exhibit space.

ORIGINAL RESPONSE: Hangar doors will be able to give access. As for cranes and flatbed trucks’ ability to get on the exact spots where things need to go, we are not yet able to say for sure. We anticipate much will have to be unloaded outside the door and brought to the site.

We will not be able to arrange large areas within the gallery without removing aircraft from the gallery, and that cannot happen with the CCT sitting in the doorway. We will have stanchions and tape to keep the public from the area during any equipment use that may pose a safety concern.

NEW RESPONSE: Aircraft hangar doors will be able to give access. Reasonable access for necessary equipment and vehicles will be provided in order to locate exhibit elements in the gallery and achieve the required work. We anticipate some things may have to be unloaded from trucks outside the hangar doors and then brought inside.
