The Renovations Planning Team leads and coordinates the work necessary to prepare for renovations to the third floor of the Dana Porter Library funded through a $500,000 donation to the Library's capital campaign. The Team will have plans sufficiently developed so that renovations can begin in 2004, and will continue its work until the renovations are completed.
In particular the Renovations Planning Team is responsible for:
- Developing plans for a reading room that will house current periodicals and be comparable in design and décor to the reading area of the first floor of the Dana Porter Library. An initial plan for presentation to Plant Operations will be conceptual in nature and identify desired functionality.
- Considering how many group study rooms might be located on the third floor and developing plans for such rooms.
- Considering what kind of individual study carrels would best meet student needs, including the needs of students with disabilities, and locating a supplier for such tables in order to replace carrels currently available on the third floor.
- Considering how many public workstations should be located on the third floor and where they are best located.
- Working with individuals and groups such as staff from User Services, Systems and Plant Operations who may become engaged in the project. Working with the Library Communications and Development Manager to develop a communications plan.
- Communicating with staff about the project as appropriate.
- Ensuring that the administrative contacts for the project are regularly informed of developments and consulted as appropriate.
