Summary

After bringing into consideration of the suggestions and comments presented by teachers, students, and architects we decided on a final design for the library. We decided to place the library in the quad because it is lower then the other buildings which gives us the ability to create a taller building that won't stand out. The front of the library which we be facing the current library will be made out of glass. The sides of the building will also have glass to let as much sunlight into the building as possible.
Floor 1:
-Librarians Office
-Bookshelves
-Kindle Storage
-Bathrooms (because library is a separate building.)
-Some Tables for Group Work
Floor 2:
-Computers
-Conference Room (for meetings, large events, etc.)
-Small Storage Space
-Small Lounging Area (couches and aquarium)
Floor 3:
-Quiet Study Area
-Desks
-Bathrooms
-Small Lounging Area
-Aquarium
-Small Rooms (sound proof area for teams to work on projects, powerpoints, etc.)
Sustainability and Efficiency:
-Solar Panels (to power the library,
-Motion sensors in the rooms (dims lights when no one is in the room)
-High R-Value roof and wall insulation
-Dual plumbing (allows for recycled water to be used to flush toilets)
-Low-flush toilets
-Double-glazed windows
