� The facility must have capacity for future expansion and be flexible for future internal changes as the requirements for storage adapt. � The facility will have a design life of 100 years. � The building�s systems and controlled atmosphere environments will be adaptable and responsive to store various sensitive / high valued items.

� The facility should be designed to the best environmental and sustainable practices possible with the goal of achieving a climate positive outcome. � The facility will contain highly adaptable and smart storage systems to house the holdings, heritage documents and taonga. This procurement seeks to secure Acoustic Engineering Services for the Regional Shared Repository Project.
