South branch schematic design prioritizes makerspace and flexible meeting space; occupancy changes possible
Summary
Staff presented schematic design for the South branch that relocates the teen area into a new makerspace, centralizes staff desks for better sight lines, and may add a second door to increase large‑event occupancy from about 50 to as many as 100 people.
Library staff told the board that the South branch schematic design continues to be refined with finishes and makerspace planning underway. The proposal would move the teen area into a reconfigured book area and create a centralized staff desk to improve sight lines and customer service. Staff also proposed adding a second door to a large flex room which could raise the occupancy from about 50 to as many as 100 people.
Design work includes reviewing electrical and potential ventilation needs for makerspace equipment, selecting durable flooring and restroom finishes, and preserving an existing large program room for big events. Staff said schematic design should be complete by the end of March, followed by design development and construction documents.
