During the first stage of pre-planning, we do a needs assessment that includes activities such as interviews and workshops. Normally, the outcome includes a service plan, building program and cost estimate for your project. After we completed our assessment we can provide a funding package for your library improvement project.

We have developed a unique set of architectural building standards, specifically developed for libraries. The standards help our clients update their library building and organization. The research may include a behavioral assessment, workflow analysis and guidelines for the library's collections, staff and users. The process delivers a comprehensive assessment of existing conditions and provides options for the next 5, 10 and 20 years. The research may include user profiles, library building programs and specialized functional requirements for the library environment.
