靈活的伊利諾伊州圖書館擱板|案例分析

A Commitment to Learning

On most campuses, the library is a lively hub of learning and collaboration. But students and faculty atHarper College in Palatine, Illinois, found that working in the old library was more about endurance than enjoyment. The aging building hadn’t been remodeled in more than 20 years, and it was dark, overcrowded, and noisy. Perhaps most importantly, the building’s labyrinthine layout made it difficult for students to find their way around.

適用於開放式學習布局的時尚擱置

The library’s main level is bright, open, and busy. The planning team wanted to provide casual collaboration spaces on this level, along withaccess to popular periodicals, digital media, best sellers, popular reading, graphic novels, and other materials. Counter-height cantilever shelving contributes to the open feel, allowing natural light from large windows to fill the space. A-frame shelving and carts provide storage and display for DVDs and other media. The flexible shelving is fitted with casters thatallow staff to move them when they want to repurpose the space.

三樓致力於獨立研究和安靜的研究。高度靈活的擱架單元屋,其中大部分圖書館的集合,以及學習Carrels提供隱私。在整個圖書館中,Spacesaver擱架裝配custom end panelsthat integrate with the rest of the building’s interior design. The result is a sleek, clean look that unifies the facility while also providing convenient access to the library’s collection.

Secure Archives with Preservation in Mind

Spacesaver設計團隊還與Bradford係統合作,設計了一個安全的地區,以便在學院的檔案和特殊收藏中占地。它們選擇了4張棚屋安裝在高密度移動係統上,以存儲存檔盒和印刷材料。The archives were designed with room to grow. Some of the high-density storage shelves are currently empty, awaiting future acquisitions, which gave Harper College未來收集存儲的安心. The cabinet trays can be raised or lowered without special tools, allowing staff to adjust tray spacing to maximize space and accommodate objects of different heights. Additional trays can also be added as the collection grows in the future. All in all, the success of this project was a great accomplishment for all parties involved.
