Bldg 100 Notes from User Group on September 13, 2013
For the architects: Please take the labels off that are naming disciplines (e.g., Comm, Science, and ESL) as we want all areas to be considered multidisciplinary.
Also, as much glass throughout for doors and walls (for supervision and light).
Requested Items Not in Scope
1. Elevator - $500,000 (need access to hallway downstairs, to first floor of library, and to mezzanine)
2. Bathroom renovation – not clear which bathrooms are being updated; all should be renovated
3. Additional wireless access points within the general library and mezzanine (we understand wireless will be in remodeled areas only)
4. Faster computer lab (in mezzanine) – 125 stations

6. Carpet throughout the library - $250,000
7. Refurbished on reupholstered chairs and new furniture throughout the library

13. Small computer lab between 23 and 27 (classroom does not need instructor station next to ADA station but needs an ELMO toward the front near the monitor (should it be a screen and smart classroom instead of a monitor?) Then could you add 2 more computers in there to make it 14 total?
