5. CHANGE

7. It’s hard to CHANGE the
library building

9. Raised
Flooring

10. Demountable
Walls

13. It’s
going
cost
more….

28. Challenge
to
architects
&
engineers
How
to
build
a
completely
flexible
building,
for
real
life,
not
just
an
intellectual
exercise.
Libraries
are
buildings
that
will
change
all
the
Sme,
great
opportunity
for
architects
and
engineers
to
design
something
really
thoughTul
and
have
impact.

29. Invest
during
construcSon,
save
operaSng
funds
later.
Future
proof
your
library
with
strong
infrastructure.
Don’t
invest
in
stuff,
everything
that
sits
on
floors
and
walls
and
hung
from
ceilings
will
be
replaced
in
5-­‐10
years

30. 10
years
later,
The
library
will
look
completely,
Because
your
users
will
have
demanded
change,
Everything
will
be
re-­‐arranged
and
different
At
UofC
we
faced
this
reality
2
months
into
the
TFDL
being
open…
