WHERE SHOULD I STAY?
Most events will be in lower Manhattan - and we have provided some guidance here for two options we suggest:

We have a rate at the Andaz Wall Street of $250.00 per night. Just ask for the Mid-Atlantic Association of Musuems when booking. Andaz is a hip new line of hotel from Hyatt with a prime location at the corner of Wall and Water Streets. From the austere architecture of the New York Stock Exchange to the Gothic Revival design of the historic Trinity Church, the area is remarkably diverse in look, personality and history.

We also have a agreement with Club Quarters for preffered rates.
Club Quarters has two properties near our events:
World Trade Center CQ Phone: (212) 577-1133
• Wall Street CQ Phone: (212) 269-6400
PROGRAM, LOCATION, OUTLINE SCHEDULE AND PAST SYMPOSIA:More information about the 2010 Symposium coming soon!
OVERVIEW:
This symposium is for architects, museum leaders, planners, project managers, technical experts, and all those who plan or implement new construction, renovation, or expansion projects for museums. Whether your institution is a small historic site under renovation, a mid-sized art museum planning an expansion, or a large children's museum building a new facility, this symposium will provide you the opportunity to:
- Better understand the process of planning, implementing, and surviving new construction, renovation, or expansion projects
- Examine case studies, current trends, topical issues, and specific projects related to building projects across a broad range of museum sizes and scales, budgets, scope of building projects, diversity of disciplines, and collecting vs. non-collections-holding institutions
- Actively discuss museum building projects with other museum professionals, architects, planners, project managers, and technical experts to better inform the process of building
- Access resources for architectural firms, consultants, museum projects, and museum leaders through the Building Museums Resource Guide
The symposium is organized under three inter-related themes: Vision, Implementation, and Sustainability (or Life after Opening) . The content of each day will reflect these themes across a broad range of museum sizes and scales, budgets, scope of building projects, disciplines, and collecting vs. non-collecting institutions.
