Updates
Lallapalooza
MEETING Updates were given first, as the man with the laptop & designs was running a bit late.
The new design was presented as floor plans on paper printouts and a 3-D graphical represenation in three stages of construction: initial one-storey library with enough shelf space for approx. 16, 000 books; second floor above this; and expansion forward on main floor and second storey both. After some oohing and discussion, the group decided that it would be cheaper and easier to combine stages one and two into the creation of one two-storey shell, rather than building the roof and having to tear it off later and pop it up to the second storey, finishing off the interior later, and make the expansion into the main stacks and multipurpose area the second major stage. The first stage will measure approximately 22 ft by 48 ft on each floor; the second stage will add roughly another 1000 sq ft.The architects will work on rendering the design more fully, and will send a link so that interested parties may view the 3-D design in Google SketchUp (links will be posted here when available). The discussion of the lallapalooza was tabled for a future time. | |||||
