Measurable Outcome(s)

According to grant specification, Mr Rummel, lighting design specialist, visited the Balaton Museum of two separate occasions. Based upon those visits he prepared a report outlining his review of the museum's existing conditions, gave three specific recommendations, supplied drawings and specifications for the renovated lighting project and a general listing of renovation steps to achieve the goal of a museum adequately and appropriately lit throughout its entire space. Mr. Rummels report will allow the Balaton Historical Society to move forward with this lighting renovation initiative based upon sound consultative advice.
