2013 national competition project | Library Redesign #007
|There are some problems with our library in my opinion. The library should have more open space, and also have a more open, and modern feel to the library itself. By expanding the library to give it more space, it could open up space for extra bookshelves, study areas, and quiet areas. More windows could be added to also have a more open feel as well as relaxing. Another problem with the library is that there is only one exit to the outside in the entire library. By adding a few more exits with the extension, it would help to make the library a safer place.
