Library Design for the 21st Century
This chapter is in the book Library Design for the 21st Century

Abstract

The design of new or major renovations to library facilities requires considered involvement of stakeholders to ensure that the final designs reflect the diversity of users, changing needs and expectations. Two stakeholder engagement processes, one for the University of Saskatchewan Murray Library Master Plan working with the design team Group2 Architecture Interior Design Ltd. and Perkins+Will and a second for the Regina Public Library George Bothwell renovation and expansion project, are presented and reviewed. The relative success of the processes and considerations for improvement on future library projects, both academic and public, are outlined.
