Summary

Our firm, Transformation Generation, took all the input we have received from the Librarian, the students, and teachers and combined it with our ideas to create something contemporary and modern at the same time.
Director of Community Relations-
The final physical model shows the community room which is a place where groups can come together to have meetings. It is also a place where movies will be shown to entertain anyone who would like to stay and watch, and it is also a place where students can go and practice for a presentation. The garden, is where we will be having gardening classes, and give the flowers to the elderly. We will also have technology classes in the media room for anyone who is will to learn.
Director of Building Design and Director of Sustainability & Energy Efficiency-
The final model shows the details like the model in the sketch up and our addition of sustainability. We added Bamboo as flooring, coucunut materials like bookshelfs and tables, as well as recycled materials, solar panel, eco friendly paint, Polycarbonate Hygienic High Speed Hand Dryaer that reuses water. we also added an aquarium for relaxatioand tranquility.The main suggestion we took was to do somthing about the open spaces and emergency exits as well. as the Director of Building design making the design is harder then it looks because you have to have everything to scale and measured correctly. As Director of Sustainability and energy efficency one thing I learned was that there are many diffrent ways to reduce out Carbon Footprints just like the Impact Man. As a team member I learned that communication is the most important thing to have less conflicts. sometimes a team member will not like your ideas but at the end commumication, corabilation is very important.
Director of Landscape Design-
The final model shows flower beds, with trees, and seating area. This area is meant to show anyone who wants to learn how to garden, but it also a seating area to relax and have lunch or study.
Director of Interior Design-
The final model has a contemporary feel to it but it is also modern. We have seats built into to the bookshelves which gave a twist to how you sit in the library. We have made the librarians front desk into an aquarium and around the elevator which would bring some calm into the library. Our current library is 19 meters in width, 3 meters in heights and 24 meters in length.
Our current library’s interior space is very small and there are not enough rooms for more chairs, tables, computers or bookshelves and our library looks really crowded. We have boos on the floor of the library for not having any space or bookshelves to put those books at and the books are on student’s ways and its blocking their ways so it’s much harder to walk around the library with those books on the ground. The current tables and chairs are made out of wood which is really uncomfortable for students to work on and also the library tables are long and students are not able to communicate as well with each other. As we worked on our project we have researched about the libraries around the world and about how they were built and got ideas of their interior designs and brained stormed all the ideas and researches that we had collected and came up with a better looking library where students and the community will benefit more from the library and will be a more welcoming place with better technology and a more modern place. We recycled the desks, tables and bookshelves that our library had and made chairs, tables and bookshelves that are more comfortable and better looking. We also recycled our computers and replaced them with more modern laptops which have more technology and will benefit students more because it has better technology and better programs. We did not paint our library we chose to leave it with the bricks it already has and use more bricks to build the second floor because the school is mostly out of brick and we did not want the library to look different from the school. Our flooring is made out of bamboo. Bamboo flooring can give the natural beauty of wood without us having the feel that our choice in flooring improvement is having a damaging affect on the environment. Bamboo is easily cleaned, it’s long lasting, it costs up to 50% less than conventional flooring, it is environmentally friendly and it is fire resistant.We will be expanding our library by adding building up where our bike racks used to be and adding a second floor to that space. The first floor of the library will be where we have most of our bookshelves, checkout counter, two restrooms, an office, media room and a meeting room. Our restrooms are accessible to the students only when they are using the library. The second floor of the library will be the study room with all tables and chairs and bookshelves where students can study, read or do their home works.
