Abstract:
Deciding if and when to add an external library building design consultant to a library facilities planning team is often crucial to the successful completion of building projects. Sometimes, planners only require a consultant who knows the overall elements while in other instances individuals with particular space planning skills and an in-depth understanding of library operations and building requirements are necessary … Andrea A. Michaels, President of Michaels Associates Design Consultants, Inc., talked with the author at length about her role in enabling library planners to reach their goals and objectives in designing or re-designing library buildings to strike an appropriate balance between meeting current demands and allowing for space, furnishing and equipment adaptability to accept desired changes gracefully.
