including in high traffic areas
• The ventilation system allows for no air circulation and
most days the library is hot and stuffy
• Space is cramped – not many people can occupy it at once
• Only 6 networked computers are available for student use
Current Media Center
Goals for the New Library
• To Create a space that will
accommodate all learners &
activities:
• Reading
• A separate reading area
• Research
• More networked computers
• Instruction
• More than 1 class at once
• Collaboration

HVAC
“The main purposes of a Heating, Ventilation, and AirConditioning (HVAC) system are to help maintain good
indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with
filtration and provide thermal comfort. HVAC systems
are among the largest energy consumers in schools.
The choice and design of the HVAC system can also
affect many other high performance goals, including
water consumption (water cooled air conditioning
equipment) and acoustics.”
- EPA (2010)
Environmental Design Elements
• HVAC
• HVAC
72 – 76 degrees Fahrenheit
30% - 60% humidity
– Such conditions ensure patron comfort and limit
mold growth and damage to books and
technology.
- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
Environmental Design Elements
•Reading areas
•Computer
/projection area
Lighting
adjustable lighting and/or
daylight
lower light levels – parabolic
louvers or indirect lighting
Our design
• Dimming lights near computer area and in
instructional area
•Brighter lights and windows with electronic
shades in reading areas
-All lights have control area at entrance/exit.
- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
Environmental Design Elements
Power Requirements
• “Adequate electrical service and outlets should meet the
needs of technical infrastructure that supports a variety
of activities.
• Surge protection is needed for computers, peripherals,
and communication lines. Built-in surge protection for
circuits that support media and technology activities
removes the need for multiple surge individual
protectors.
• Adequate number of circuits is necessary to distribute
electrical load in all areas, especially in production and
computer areas.”
- IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs (2006)

“interact, collaborate, and publish with peers,
experts, or others employing a variety of digital
environments and media” (2.a)
“communicate information and ideas effectively
to multiple audiences using a variety of media
and formats” (2.b)
“locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize,
and ethically use information from a variety of
sources and media” (3.b)
“advocate and practice safe, legal, and
responsible use of information and technology”
(5.a)
“understand and use technology systems” (6.a)
“transfer current knowledge to learning of new

- ISTE NETS (2007)
Environmental Design Elements
Acoustics
“Excessive noise and reverberation interfere with
speech intelligibility, resulting in reduced
understanding and therefore reduced learning. In
many classrooms in the United States, the speech
intelligibility rating is 75 percent or less. That means
that, in speech intelligibility tests, listeners with
normal hearing can understand only 75 percent of
the words read from a list.”
Acoustics is imperative to ensure students’ learning.
-Acoustical Society of America, Classroom Acoustics (2000).

Ways to Improve Acoustics

Sound-absorbing lay-in ceiling
Sloped ceiling
Thin carpet on floor

-Salter (2002)
Environmental Design Elements
Flooring
“…with appropriate maintenance and replacement
safeguards, carpet is a highly desirable flooring
material for library media centers and offices
because of its comfort, noise reduction, and
appearance” (p. 43).
- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
Relocation & Moving
Relocation and Movement Considerations
•Know the Date
•Ask for a timeline or create one with staff
•Keep patrons and administration informed regarding
Media Center timeline
•Clean out/ Weed extensively
•Divise a great packing/unpacking plan
•What type of boxes?
•How much in a box?
•The type of label that will be put on the box
•Staging materials to be picked up
•Labeling new Media Center for easy unpacking
•Know who will be available for moving and unpacking
