Function: To draw up recommendations from IPS members on
the subject of building a new planetarium or renovating an old
one, with the guidelines intended for architects, museum
directors, college and school system administrators, and others
without much planetarium experience.
The
committee produced the booklet "So You Want to Build A
Planetarium" which offers a brief overview and a list of
questions to consider in embarking on a new planetarium
enterprise. The committee expects to rouse itself again soon to
prepare a longer, more detailed guidebook and to publicize the
shorter booklet to its intended audience.
