Does anyone know of websites where I might find sample floor-plans for a new library ? I need for ideas for planning a new library for an educational establishment of about 500 students, plus 30 or so academic staff. Library to be of about 6,500 sq feet including offices, etc, (all one floor), plus separate stack storage of maybe 500 sq feet.
All ideas gratefully received,
regards,
Atalanta
