WHERE do you work? Sounds like the same poeple in charge of our school addition were in charge of your work project . . . they added about 4 elementary classrooms and a library. NO closets in ANY of the rooms, no blackboards, and the teachers cannot hang anything on the walls. about 6 ft. of space for hooks and shelves in the kind. room . . .(obviously they did not consult anyone who would actually be USING the rooms as they planned them). . . a raised sidewalk up to the doors that lead into the new addition, but no guard to keep the kids from falling 4+ ft. onto the road . . . and they started this almost a year ago!
I work at a library, I love books. Seems like a good fit.
They put a lot of really nice aesthetic features in that look really nice. We told them what we needed and managed to NOT get the things we asked for.
We asked for more space for books, doubled the size of the buildings and have less shelf space for books. The reference people asked for the public access computers to be close to the reference desk. What they got is hookups as far as possible away to them. They need roller skates to get around.
