P3 Library

After a consultation in the studio, it was the decided that the library i was designing so far was the typical library which i went to school in and not a library which was designed for 2020. With technology being a huge factor in schools and nearly every student working off laptops, with wireless technology, providing computers in a library was no longer necessary. With this in mind, the building has been shrunk and altered so that it is a more modern design. The spacial requirments now are:

  • Books / collection
  • Librarian
  • Teaching Space
  • Breakout spaces
  • Cafe / gallery space
  • Bathrooms
Schools now prefer to be more flexible so that rooms can be used for various activities. Hopefully the future design will reflect this and be a more modern design.
