library Program- Version 0
A library is considered as a collection of sources of any kind of information. The following chart includes the essential spaces required for the design.
Needless to say , these spaces and their attributes could be slightly changed based on the type of information and resources that the library is designed for.
The Program revised and updated all in one post.
Let us know your comments
Great job! I was thinking we might need some more space for parking lot in our program, maybe 50 cars spot is good : )
Thank you for the feedback! We will streamline the other information and be sure to include it in this post. This post is the most current and best describes what we believe to be the adequate amount of space for each space for the program of the library. Please look over each type of space and the proposed square footage and let us know if you think we can make any changes. Thanks!
There are a few posts about program, one from Steven and two from Shokofeh. It might be easier if they were condensed into one amended post so that its easier to follow the information.
