FACILITY PLANNING
Deliver a space that fosters patron engagement.
In partnership with library stakeholders, LibraryIQ focuses on utilization and design to understand how patrons currently use the library and how changes will increase engagement. Space allocations for collections, technology, meeting rooms, administration, and - most importantly - people, are studied and adjusted based on community need.
The result? A space that patrons want to visit. A space that fosters community engagement.
