Planning Types: Campus Planning

Libraries impact every student on campus, and as neutral third spaces, libraries are positioned to provide services equitably. Today's library services have expanded from the traditional book stacks to include a range of diverse resources. The master planning process for Miami University's King Library identified renovation projects that transform the ground floors into a dynamic marketplace and active hub that provides access to resources campuswide. Come learn how your institution's library can adapt to stay relevant and useful for students through careful master planning, designing for flexibility, and forming strategic partnerships for student resources.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Identify opportunities for renovation within your institution's existing library for changing and new services.
  2. Evaluate strategic projects and which spaces within those projects can have the highest impact.
  3. Engage various stakeholders?念such as staff, students, and partners?念to develop a fundraising plan using 'enabling projects' that support the overall project vision.
  4. Investigate potential partnerships throughout your campus that may contribute to improved library services and user experience.
