There is currently no way to get into the Counselor's Office unless you go through the Tech Room or the Storage space which is probably not your intention. The door that opens right into the wall of the Music Room is awkward and might be better in another location. The location of the study room breaks up the open space of the library and creates a hidden space behind it where the librarian would not be able to supervise easily from the check out desk. Where are the shelves for library books? Where are the computers? A good start though.

Thank you for pointing our the errors in our blue print. We are currently working on updating the blue print to match your suggestions and should have the new one up next week.

The specifics found within this sketch is very helpful. Now more details are needed. Entrance, exit, etc. Seems like a large space for storage- what will go in there?
Why is the tech room so small? Where will the books go? tables? seems like this space is very fixed.. not much room for flexibility for other uses?

I wish you all had left up the old plan so we could compare since it's hard to remember the specifics. However, without labels on this one it is hard to comment. Not sure how you get into the main space or if you are showing vestibules into the library. May I suggest that the library shelves at the center of the space remain low so that the space still feels open and airy. Perhaps the furniture can be mobile to allow for more flexibility and rearranging by teachers or students. I think the large space at the bottom is a study room or computer lab? I'm not sure what the back wall opens onto but if it is a nice exterior space perhaps you can you a window wall that can open up to an outdoor "teaching patio." Check out Nana walls (its a product) or maybe a glass garage-type door that can open easily onto the space.

I really enjoy how clear and precise your sketches are, you have clearly mapped the spaces and given the measurements enough room to be successfully built. Nice Job Urban Fusion!
