How Much Space Do You Really Need and How Much Will It Cost?

Saturday, March 14, 2009
9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Simmons College, One Palace Road Bldg
Cost: $220 (Simmons GSLIS Alum $175)
PDPs: 7

A one-day workshop designed to explore all facets of library space 
planning for all types of libraries in order to determine in a clear and 
logical manner how – in the early stages of planning – a library can 
accurately develop its space needs whether planning for a totally new 
facility, expansion of an existing structure, or renovating an older 
library building. The different types of spaces, e.g. meeting rooms, 
bookstacks, IT lab, are discussed and the elements that constitute each 
space are discussed. Participants will know how to project the space 
needs of their library over a 20-year period. The final segment of the 
workshop will deal with cost estimating – planning costs, design costs, 
construction costs, furnishing costs, contingencies – how to arrive a 
reliable total project cost. All workshop participants will receive, at 
no additional cost, a copy of the consultant’s “An Architectural 
Dictionary for Librarians.”

Faculty: Richard Waters is a full-time library consultant with 23 years 
of full-time experience. He has consulted with over 300 academic and
