Integrated Library Design
We translate needs into specific functional requirements, determining the optimal allocation of space for diverse activities: quiet study, collaborative projects, digital creation, specialized research, community events, and flexible learning. This isn’t about maximizing square footage, but maximizing impact.
Mapping and Interior Design The library doesn’t exist in isolation. We analyze its relationship to other campus resources – learning commons, academic departments, student services including writing center, testing and students with disabilities. We help identify opportunities for synergy and integration. This fosters a seamless learning experience and avoids duplication of effort.
Space Assessment We leverage national and international benchmarks to identify best practices and inform design decisions. This ensures that your library is positioned as a leader in innovation and service excellence.
Ethnographic Research We provide surveys that helps us deliver ethnographic research, data analytics, and trend analysis to anticipate future demands. This includes understanding the impact of evolving pedagogical approaches, emerging technologies (AI, VR/AR), and shifting research methodologies.
Physical environment assessment helps evaluate and optimize library use.
Collection benchmarking helps utilize the library in new ways.
Create spaces strategically by programming the users behavior, and service definitions.

The Digital Revolution (21st Century) was a shift from print to digital resources. Now, we need to adapt the library to the emergence of new technologies, increasing emphasis on collaboration and access. The library is now a hybrid space, blending physical and digital resources.
