Cultural facilities present unique challenges for design teams. The facility must be accessible and accommodating to hundreds, even thousands of people. The MEP systems must continuously perform at utmost functionality regardless of the number of users.

Depending on the specific use, cultural facilities have specific requirements that engineering systems must address. For example, museums, art galleries and libraries must maintain consistent temperature and humidity levels to preserve works of art, rare books and documents. Furthermore, cultural facilities often require complex audio/visual systems in order to communicate with audiences.
