2013 national competition project | Library Redesign #112
|An entire new design and addition of my school's existing library which uses modern information technology, such as smart-boards, computers, and interactive projectors, to enhance the common classroom experience. Also, it can provide a place for students to concentrate during study hall, while providing computers to those same students without disrupting the computer lab time of the other non - study hall classes.
