I would like to the opinions of RIM practitioners and consultants about the following matter: Under eminent domain, a municipality will take a portion of a commercial record center’s parking lot to construct an interstate highway ramp. The highway construction site will be immediately adjacent to the record storage facility and will expose the building to dust, pollutants, and other construction hazards. Some dust and debris may infiltrate the building through air vents that are exposed to the construction site. Construction is expected to last somewhere between 3 and 5 years, though the time frame may be shorter or longer. I have two questions: (1) Should this building be ruled out as an acceptable record storage facility while construction is ongoing? (2) If your organization is currently storing records in the facility, would you remove them?
