Understand the community's vision of the library including its funding, furniture and equipment; a physical space that actively supports different modes of learning and the rapid switching between modes. It must be managed strategically to enhance services and operations.

Operations include the number of service desks; size and location of collections; number and location of seats; type of seats – individual, group study, meeting room, training spaces; number and location of staff offices, workstations and storage areas.
