Planning for Building and Renovating Public Library Spaces: If You Want 
to Build It... How to Plan So They Will Come 
Instructor:  Judith Campbell

Students will learn the basics of planning for building library space 
and will examine how to evaluate existing space, determine future needs, 
and plan for furnishings and equipment.  The next step will be to create 
a "program" for the architects of a library building based on the 
evaluation of the library's future needs.  Students will achieve an 
awareness of how to involve staff, the public, and the marketing 
department to create a successful project.  Finally, students will also 
explore planning for any move(s) related to their project.
