Chavis Library

4th year student’s critique in room 401, the Vance Chavis Life Long Learning Library.

Student set up their work all around the room, models, photos, rough drafts, everything along the way while working on the project. The final product consisted of an Atrium, which had information & circulation desk. A Stack room, where computers and printer was place in, along with the E-Cloud coming farther down from the ceiling to bring more comfort to the surrounding of the room for it’s inhabitants. The next room discussed was the children’s room, where it was a small area with two tables. It was a room filled with fun and engaging, hands on task. Having 3-4 computers in the room for kids/adults to work on. The Administration section was on the other side of the children’s room, a room with a comfortable environmental space for workers.

They discussed the problematic situation of the parking area. To solve this issue, ideas about using buses where workers would be drop off at a specific location near the library. They also spoke about the color arrangements within the library. 3 main colors were used: blue, green, & orange. The orange was mainly used in every chair in some form, either by the cushions or the seating, etc. etc. They also used gray as a neutral color in every room as well.

I thought that the information was well presented in a clear manner descriptive details and transition of plan was very good. I also learn that even after doing this for such a long time, it is still possible to be nervous while presenting. I thought they answered every questions that were asked was very thought out and gave the public a satisfying answer.
