There are many books and articles dealing with planning a library
building project. This article presents the need for project teams,
describes their composition, and presents their role in the planning
process. The role of the building consultant is outlined and the
qualities desired in the building consultant presented. The space
estimation process is presented, including charts of space required
for selected library equipment. The building program document is
described. Several examples from a building program are presented
to illustrate the types of information found in these documents.
The importance of inclusivity throughout the planning process is
emphasized as well as the importance of including enough space
for future expansion.
