University Librarian vision for space

Update on campus-wide space projects---what are potential impact/opportunities for OSUL?

Existing space related projects:

4^th floor remodel

merger of service units on 2^nd floor

5^th floor merger of units

3^rd floor space

Guin Library space

JAVA renovation

Other space issues:

Quiet vs. collaborative space

Group study rooms and accessibility

Sharing space with non-library units either permanently or temporarily

Access to technology and electricity

Maintenance

FOR LAMP TO CONTEMPLATE IN PREPARATION:

What are our existing and future space needs in regard to

User Population

Collection Space

Public Workstation Space

User Seating Space

Staff Work Area Space

Classroom & Meeting Room Space

Special Use Space

Non-Assignable Space

Who or what needs to be onsite vs. what could be offsite?

We can create a space on the wiki to put the documentation we have in place related to existing projects and other reports or data. The eventual outcome is a space planning document that consider 3-4 scenarios for OSU Libraries.
