The purpose of this document is <br />not to describe in detail the individual spaces designed to support the program to be housed <br />within the Elk River Library. This document has been completed following the review of the <br />physical needs and the typical requirements of similar library developments. It is not the intent <br />of this document to program for the existing library as it currently operates. This document <br />prepared to establish or modify the current programs offered. <br /> <br />The development of a final building program document will require extensive involvement and <br />review. The program will be developed in greater depth with Great River Regional Library <br />System during the design phase, directly following site selection. The following is a list of <br />assumptions and program elements considered for this site analysis. <br /> <br />· Gross square footage of 14,000 square feet <br />· Future expansion capability of 50% to 21,000 square feet <br />· 45,000 - 55,000 volumes <br />· 47 stalls required parking - 70 stalls provided for future expansion <br />· Material drop off - pedestrian and vehicular <br />· Access for community room - off hour use <br />· Bathrooms accessible for community room use <br />· Retail opportunity - Coffee Shop <br />· Outdoor reading rooms <br />· Service and delivery area <br />· Drive thru book drop <br />· Pedestrian access <br />· Bus drop-off <br /> <br />BUILDING ATTRIBUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Part of this discussion begins with a review of some common building attributes. This text is <br />prepared as a preliminary document so that fundamental program requirements (building and <br />site) have not been tabulated. The library space types are areas where bound paper <br />documents, film, or magnetic media are stored. The library space type may include both open <br />and closed storage systems and moveable shelving systems, and be applicable to file rooms <br />and other dense storage of materials. <br /> <br />The library is assumed to be general purpose, and may include display spaces and reading, <br />meeting, and electronic workstations, as defined by the desired level of access to materials <br />being stored. Internet access, electronic media, computer technology, and other forms of <br />modern-day advancements have had a profound effect on the function and design of libraries. <br />As a result, library space design must be flexible enough to take into account these types of <br />integrated technologies as well as to properly store, handle, and circulate printed and other <br />media types. <br /> <br />KKE ARCHITECTS: 0606.1159.01 <br /> <br />- 8- <br /> <br />SITE FEASIBILITY STUDY REPORT <br />
