Facilitating a joint review was the most efficient way to align all critical stakeholders—Facilities, Security, Curatorial, Conservation, and Communications—on the facts, risks, and operational constraints. A shared session minimizes handoffs and miscommunication, accelerates verification of regulatory and policy requirements (safety, collections care, ADA, and procurement), and yields a single, defensible action plan with clear ownership. Given the public-facing implications and cross-departmental interdependencies, this approach also ensures consistent messaging to visitors and partners while maintaining an auditable record of decisions. The situation had near-term operational impacts, making a coordinated evaluation preferable to sequential escalations.
