 Project Motivation  Developing Customer Needs  Functional Decomposition  Metrics and Specifications  House of Quality  Final Concept Selection  Feasibility Analysis  Library Feedback

 Idea of what a library is and does is changing  Needs of students are evolving  Last renovation was 22 years ago

• The library is planning for a full renovation in about

5 years

• This project is to “refresh” the 1st floor for use until

the full renovation

• “Refresh” is scheduled to occur Summer 2013

 Understand current usage and needs

• Student Survey
• Observational Study

 Provide a new layout for the first floor

• Create space identity
• Provide adequate square footage

 Suggest furniture styles for the space

• Provide workstations and soft seating

 Stakeholders

• Shirley Bower, Director RIT Libraries

 End Users

• RIT Students
• Library Staff
• Henrietta Community

 They have mostly similar needs with a few

exceptions

 Interview with Shirley Bower, Director of RIT

Libraries

• Identify Wallace Library needs
• Identify project constraints

 Student Survey

• 100 responses
• Identify student needs

If this space didn't exist, what would you miss?

 Henrietta Public Library  Pittsford Public Library  St. John Fisher Campus Library

Safety & Security

Redesign the Wallace Library 1st floor: “More Space, Better Space”

Technology & Resources Constraints Forms of Customer Use Theft Resistance Electrical Distribution Easy navigation of space Way to display visual media Durable furniture Means to capture brainstorming Ability to reconfigure space Furniture to do work on Spacious workstations Atmosphere Ease of Use Portable technology capabilities Area for group colloboration Area for private work Able to accommodate more workspaces Presentation space Social Space Contemporary Commonly used student services Conducive to academic work (prolonged vs. short term) Spacious Way to display collaborative works Design with a lifespan of at least 5 years Sufficient Lighting Space Identity Noise Segregation Stress Relief Secured Storage Space Fit in the current hard walled footprint of the first floor Optimal Power Distribution Computer Space Comfortable Workstation Seating Seating and Computer Station should be at least equal to the current level

Student & Library Needs Library Needs Student Needs

• increase the # of

workstations causes increased noise levels

• Increase in the # of

workstations, couches, chairs all decrease the space between workstations

• Increase in natural light

decreases the need for artificial light

• As the distance

between outlets increases the percentage

• f movable furniture

needs to increase

 Layout Component

• Where are the spaces?
• How big are the spaces?
• How much furniture should be in the spaces?

 Furniture Component

• What types of furniture should be in the space?

 Presented to Wallace Library management  Received positive feedback

• Similar layout to the architect’s plans
• Identified similar challenges in achieving project

goals

 The library found our data and analysis most

useful moving forward

• Shirley is going to see how our specifications

aligned with the architect’s specifications
