Introduction In May 2015, Margaret Sullivan Studio and Pugsley Simpson Coulter Architects were hired to design a program for the East Las Vegas Library intended to replace the Las Vegas Library. The new Library will be located at N. 28th Street and E. Bonanza Road. Located in a neighborhood serving almost 200,000 people, the Library will be sited close to a relocated bus stop and within walking distance of 22,000 families.1 The project is intended to begin design in October 2015; construction to commence Summer July/ August 2016; and a ribbon cutting for a new East Las Vegas Library slated for October 2017. This document represents a four-month programming and community engagement process that can be characterized as nothing less than remarkable. We knew that we needed to develop a strategy to design the first new 21st century library for the Las VegasClark County Library District (LVCCLD); a library program for 21st century skill sets to flourish, including Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration, Visual Literacy, Media Literacy, Entrepreneurial Literacy and

Global Awareness.2 But what we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize was the urgency of the need and the opportunity to contribute to a community that, if designed correctly, will embrace this Library and take full advantage of its offerings. When you walk into the new East Las Vegas Library, you will see a vibrant and dynamic Library: families celebrating Quincinera, friends hanging out in the Plaza, kids learning to make Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salsa, mothers taking Improv parenting classes, ELA classes taught after the shift ends, children getting ready for kindergarten, parents signing up their kids for school because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have internet at home, people of all ages gathering to watch, make and check-out movies and music, politicians kicking off campaigns, state-of-theart technology, teens teaching, teens playing, teens applying to college, cool stuff being made in the messy space and the tech arts lab, how-to books being checked out about fixing cars, home improvement and construction. You may also see people coming into the Library for the first time, urgently needing assistance with social and government resources. The Library will be their life-line. This program indicates a targeted 35,000 square foot (SF) building with approaches indicating a 46,000 SF or 55,000 SF building. The program makes recommendations for space, equipment, collections,

technology and furnishings and is intended to be a framework for delivery of services. The design team wants to thank all the participants who made this document possible. This is an East Las Vegas Library program created by and for an amazing community.

Vision The East Las Vegas program is designed for family and culture to thrive! This Library will serve a population lacking in basic resources that are critical to health and well-being, educational opportunities, career advancement and financial independence. Yet, despite these obstacles, the opportunity to create a place for families and culture to thrive is palpable. There will not be a dry eye in the audience at this buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ribbon cutting. This is a community that values family, education, and aspires to be greater. This is a community that believes in diversity and multiculturalism. It is a great opportunity that the Library District can provide a place, programs and resources that will enable community advancement. It is critical that the Library District provide support to a citizenry who aspire to improve the quality of life for themselves and their families. This program envisions an East Las Vegas Library designed to foster accomplishment. Offering a learning

culture based on Connected Learning Principles, the East Las Vegas Library will be a new model for Interest and Passion-based Learning, creating an environment that breaks down institutional silos of age and proficiency. This library will be a national model for 21st century learning in a public library. For a community that values family and celebrating lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rituals, it will also be a place that connects them to each other, their past, and to resources for future accomplishments. The following program outlines both a qualitative and quantitative framework that will inform not just a building or library, but a vibrant community and cultural place; one that will transform its users daily lives and be a source of great pride for a community that will undoubtedly be enriched by its services.

Library as Contributor The East Las Vegas Library will be an important contributor to the East Las Vegas community. An intergenerational library will provide the ability for the community in general to acquire knowledge according to their needs such as learning to read, keeping up with the latest technology, learning to speak, write and read English as well as gaining knowledge of the services that are being offered to the community to help take advantage of them. With the location in the heart of the community, the library will provide a sense of place. This will help the community feel free to come in to use the services provided. For kids and teenagers the library will act almost like a shield, providing activities and spaces that will pique their interest, keeping them off the streets and out of trouble. Overall, the community will embrace the new library and soon it will become a meeting place where an array of multicultural backgrounds will come to learn and appreciate the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diversity. - Aracely Rascon East Las Vegas Community Member and Team Member at Pugsley, Simpson, Coulter Architects

Learning Culture What if we created an attitude toward Workforce Development that encourages individuals to develop their skills, talents and passions in order to activate career opportunities? What if we created a community where an individual’s interests and passions catalyzed career advancement and financial independence regardless of age and proficiencies? What if we created a community where potential employers adapted their culture to tap into the interests and passions of future employees? The East Las Vegas Library program is designed to incorporate Connected Learning principles, where individuals have access to participatory, interestdriven learning that connects to educational, civic and career opportunities. At the core of Connected Learning are three principles (interest powered, peer supported and academically oriented), three design principles (production centered, openly networked, shared purpose) and three core values (equity, social connection and full participation). Connected Learning, as currently defined, is primarily focused on youth to create a user-centered in- and out-of-school learning environment with a focus on the whole child. Connected Learning promotes the long-term value of interspace learning, advisors and support systems, and the opportunity to pair learning with academic success. The movement for in- and out-of-school learning opportunities paired with workforce development is also gaining traction as a result of the success of the MacArthur Foundation’s YOUmedia program and its implementation of YOUmedia Learning Lab cohorts in libraries, museums and community centers throughout the country, including LVCCLD. The YOUmedia Learning Labs, based on the principles of Connected Learning and HOMAGO

(hanging out, messing around, and geeking out), provide spaces for youth to gather, collaborate, and learn. With the guidance of caring, near-peer artists/ mentors, teens explore their own interests such as animation, recording, writing poetry and music, and graphic design. YOUmedia successfully provides a way for youth to learn 21st century skills, which in turn can lead to more workplace opportunities. This 21st century skill set is based on the premise that workers need to be able to adapt and think critically and differently about situations, and includes skills categorized as “life and career skills, innovation, critical thinking and information, media, and technology skills.” YOUmedia has had success with developing these skill sets for its youth. Up to this point however, YOUmedia has primarily been focused on creating opportunities for academic success through interest-based learning, not how this success can be leveraged to connect youth to career opportunities. The East Las Vegas project has the opportunity to be the first library branch to incorporate Connected Learning into its “pedagogy” to serve all ages and stages of skill set and career development. One of the most exciting examples of connecting passions to career opportunities is happening in the District where Salvador Avila, Manager of the Learning Lab cohort at the Enterprise Branch is utilizing the “geeking out” stage of creation and production to form a viable career path for Vegas youth! Sal observed how teens were constantly plugged into their music players so he began teaching DJ classes to give them the skills to be ready to spin on the Vegas strip. He was motivated by the idea that DJ-ing could provide the youth with more earning power than their traditional after-school jobs. In another example, the Los Angeles Summer of

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

Learning encourages youth to explore and develop their passions in coding, community action, media, sports and other interests and learn how it relates to their career or academic future. Youth aged 16-24 can participate in the Workforce Readiness Challenge where they learn job skills, interview skills and financial literacy. The opportunity for the East Las Vegas Library to tap into the Connected Learning network and the work that the MacArthur Foundation and the Cities of Learning have been developing could have a huge positive impact on the community that the Library will serve, as well as be a national model for a customized approach to portfolio development, career mapping and creating a personal success network serving all ages and proficiencies. Connecting individuals to careers based on interests and passions, the East Las Vegas Library will be a place and a platform for community and career advancement!

User Narratives The Family My name is Julia and I am 10 years old. My parents came to Las Vegas almost 20 years ago to find a better life for my brother, 13, and my two older sisters (16 and 20). It has still been very hard for them, and for us. We’ve been living in East Las Vegas, but we move a lot. My dad was a construction worker until the recession and he has now been back and forth from Texas to here until the jobs pick back up again. My mom works in the hotels as a housekeeper. The hours are really long and I don’t see her as much as I’d like. My grandmother lives with us, and sometimes my aunt and cousins will stay with us. Between them and my brother and sisters, I always have someone to tote me around, but I still wish I had more time with my mama. Even though it has been hard around here since 2008, I still love my neighborhood, my friends and especially the brand new neighborhood Library. We call it East Side Pride! Since the Library just opened, everyone in Vegas is jealous of us! We learned about it when we were looking for a place for my sister’s Quinceañera celebration. We had more money when my older sister had her Quinceañera party, so we rented the local banquet hall, but for Mariela we weren’t able to do that. So our friends told us that the library was actually designed to host our native celebrations and that we could use the space for free! The food was also made right there in the culinary kitchen and we all took dance lessons during the months leading up to the party in the Rehearsal Room. The women made the dresses in the craft room and all of the decorations were designed and made by my sister’s friends – right there at the Library! My mother was the last one left in the family to learn English, but when she found out that there were classes offered at the Library at night when her shift was over, she signed up. She would also take my brother (to keep him out

of trouble, she’d say…) because he could play basketball outside or play video games inside. He was skipping school a lot, but when he started going to the library, he met these cool “mentors” who started helping him with his homework, even though it might be like, 10:00 at night, and then he’d even stay until midnight or later to play more basketball with his friends. The next day, he started going to school every day and getting decent grades! We even had a celebration at the Library for him not missing school for 100 days straight and his friend DJ’d. My mother also graduated from her program and we had an International Pot Luck dinner! Everyone brought their native foods. And then we all checked out books and movies that had something to do with all of the countries where our families were from. It was fun. I met a lot of kids like me. Even though we are the youngest ones in the family, we are the ones who know English the best, so we have to translate for our parents and our older relatives. I go to the Library every day after school! There is always something fun to do! I get my homework done with my tutors and then I do whatever I want! Sometimes I take Coding classes with the “Girls Who Code” teachers or sometimes I’ll take babysitting classes in the early childhood area. A lot of teenagers earn volunteer hours by babysitting at the library for the parents who work after school hours. I want to go to college, so I want to do the stuff that will help me. I’m learning how to be a bilingual storyteller for Story Time. I can’t wait until I can have my own programs! But, to be honest, sometimes I like to just be by myself and read. They have these cool hammocks in the corners. It is the only time I can get away from everything! The

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

apartment is always so loud and busy. I even drag as many of my family members on Saturday morning for the International Movie Festival movies. They always open with animations that my friends and I make in the animation studio, so it is really cool to see what we made on the big screen; especially because sometimes there are 200-300 people in the audience!

She knows everybody there and everybody knows her. She really didn’t need me but I ended up meeting a lot of dads just like me who were out of work and looking for stuff to do. We’d hang out in the living room where they have these AWESOME big screen TVs and we’d watch the wrestling matches from back home.

My older sisters started taking classes in the Aerial Studio from the Cirque De Soliel volunteers. My oldest sister is really good and they keep telling her if she keeps practicing that she might even be able to try out for a show one day.

One day they told us that they were thinking about building a “shop” in the Library’s “yard.” They asked us what kind of tools we used and what kinds of new things we wanted to learn to get better jobs. It was cool that someone was even asking us what we wanted. None of us could afford new tools. It opened about 6 months later and after another gig in Amarillo, Texas, I came home to the “garage” and we started making all sorts of things and we got to take free carpentry classes. We started making playhouses for all of our daughters. They look like our houses from home, so they are really cool. We donated some to the local schools, but most of them stay at the libraries around town. All of the materials are donated from the local hardware stores. Sometimes we make scale models on the 3D printers in the STEM lab in the Library.

My other sister is awful but she loves it, and they love her. She is really funny, so it is nice that it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are, they’ll still keep you around! The best part about the Library is that it looks like the places in Mexico where my family is from. They say it feels like the marketplace with all of the bright colors and flowers and fresh fruits. The Library has an artist exchange series with the countries where me and my friends’ families are from and there is always some cool new painting, sculpture or wacky art piece that reminds us of home. We even have a Lemon Stand!

The Entrepreneur When I lost my job doing construction, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I have 4 kids and my wife works in the new hotel. It is an okay job, but it isn’t enough to keep everybody fed. I started going down to Texas for construction work. I’d come home in between jobs and hang out with my youngest daughter. She’s really something… she is our little American Princess! And she hangs out at the Library every afternoon so she started taking me with her.

The work finally started to pick back up and I was hired right away. I know it was because I developed new skills at the Garage. I still go back every Monday night and hang out with the guys I met and we still watch the wrestling matches. I also get to “watch” my son, who hangs out with his friends and plays soccer. I also check out free WiFi hot spots to take home so that we can get WiFi for my kids to do their homework. And of course we always check out lots of movies!

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

The Entertainment Seeker The best place in all of Vegas to take my family to spend the weekend is the East Las Vegas Library! There are always so many great activities for everyone in the family to do that we are always having so much fun. Honestly, I still can’t believe that it is a Library! The weekends aren’t the only time my family enjoys the Library; we actually try to go almost every day of the week! Dad goes to play dominoes with his friends while listening to Cuban music. He says it reminds him so much of home, so we started calling the outdoor patio where they play “Cuba in the Desert.” My son on the other hand, goes mainly to play soccer with his friends, but when it’s too hot out they enjoy watching movies in the screening room, making music, listening to music, checking out DVDs, or playing video games. He is also involved in the mentor program. He meets with his mentor several times throughout the week, too. My older daughters love to dance and they have eagerly joined all the classes that the Library offers. They have this amazing rehearsal room where they can practice all of their dances and work on aerial routines. They are so eager to learn new routines that they beg me to take them to the Library. As a family we go every Friday night for the Dance Party. There is always a Mariachi band and sometimes the local middle school puts on “Rock” music shows. They also offer group dance classes in the plaza for the adults and teach anything from salsa to hip-hop. Saturdays, even in the summer heat, is film festival day! It is always an eclectic combination from kids movies in the morning to film shorts that the kids - all ages - have made, to International Films and “oldies” in the evening. It is cool because the kids love to

watch the same movies that we watched growing up and with the subtitles it’s like a little language class! The reality about the Library is that it has become the go-to place for everyone in the community to work on our English language proficiency. There are so many classes and it is not intimidating to go. The librarians are so helpful. They also helped us when my youngest daughter had to enroll in kindergarten since we didn’t have Internet at home then. We have WiFi now because we check out the WiFi hot spots from the Library. My kids still fight over the computer, but we have a system where they get to use it for homework and school projects first, then they get to play. I am also having a difficult time with my second daughter because she has been running with a bad crowd. A friend of mine who was having a similar issue with her son told me that there were parenting classes at the Library. I was so surprised because they were in this cool “Rehearsal Room” and it wasn’t just classes, it was all Improv! I have really enjoyed doing this and we even acted it all out in Spanish and English. I hadn’t realized that so many other mothers were having the same problems, it is really comforting to know I am not alone. These classes have not only taught me how to communicate with my children but with everyone I come across. Even though the kids still fight amongst themselves like children do, as a family we now laugh a lot more at home. Thanks to the Library the kids have been able to stay out of trouble and have even found passions they would have never known they had. Now when I punish them I tell them they have to go to the Library for “Time Out” and they just laugh and run out the door eager to fulfill their “punishment.”

Workshop Group 5: The Local Meet and Greet

The local meet and greet workshop discussed the library as a community gathering and meeting area with lively front yard activities.

Program

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

Enumerated Program The Enumerated Program outlines three program options: a 35,000 SF library, a 46,000 SF library, and a 55,000 SF library. The initial program “thesis” was that the design team was to design a 35,000 SF Community Library. The team developed a three-option program based on designing to activities and community needs and incorporating the CALL (Community Adult Learning in Libraries) Program headquarters into this branch, as well as incorporating the programmatic needs of the community. The program options provide the District with budget, staff and program flexibility. All program options were developed to support the activities and programs intended for the Library with the following variations: the 35,000 SF option would require some of the spaces to be shared; the 46,000 SF program alleviates the demand for shared spaces, providing operational efficiencies with dedicated spaces for critical programs; the 55,000 SF option assumes that the “new” and non-traditional library programs will have dedicated space when the Library’s staffing and operational capacity can support this dedicated space allocation. Therefore, the building should be considered for future expansion.

Qualitative Considerations

PROPOSED PROGRAM - INTERIOR ISSUES Acoustics

The East Las Vegas Library will be a lively library with activities and vibrancy, and will welcome noise and conversation in public areas, and will provide areas for quiet study and contemplation in dedicated spaces. Consider zoning the building so that spaces near the entrances and stairwells that typically have a high noise profile shade into areas where quiet conversation occurs as part of small groups or work teams. These, in turn shade into quiet zones for individual study, work, or reflection. Consider acoustical glass for small group meeting areas, or to isolate noisy or quiet areas. Typical NC ratings for Library spaces are as follows: SPACE TYPE : Open Public Areas (Circulation, Reference) Computer Work Areas Private Offices Open Staff Work Areas Copy Rooms Teleconference Rooms Reading Rooms Classrooms, Training Rooms

NC RATING 35-40 40 30-35 35-40 40 max 25 25-30 25-30

Art work and display The program takes into consideration a dedicated gallery space, but it will also be critical to consider how art can be displayed throughout the building, and showcase community works.

PROPOSED PROGRAM : QUALITATIVE

Building finishes Building finishes must be durable and able to stand up to years of constant, heavy use. Consider giving preference to building materials made of post-consumer or post-industrial recycled materials, renewable materials, materials made of certified wood or other materials that are considered sustainable. Avoid surface treatments that require waxing, polishing or frequent repainting. Select finishes that are washable and vandal resistant. Install corner guards at all appropriate locations in both public and staff work areas. Finishes should be of high quality and attractive, able to adapt to changing color palettes throughout the lifespan of the building. Painted surfaces should not be painted or textured in such a way as to make it impossible to repaint the surface at a reasonable cost should the area require repair or alterations. Durable wall guards to the height of a book truck are required in the circulation workroom, and the delivery and sorting areas.

Daylighting and fenestration Make use of daylighting design principles to reduce energy costs and to enhance building sustainability, but not at the expense of the preservation of library materials. Ensure that direct sunlight does not come into contact with library materials, or display areas. Consider ultraviolet ﬁlter treatments on windows into areas that house library materials. Locate book stacks so that direct sunlight does not fall on the shelves. The use of ambient natural light is a serious consideration in ensuring that the building’s interiors offer an aesthetically pleasing environment. This light, however, should not be intrusive. In working with existing windows, specify window treatments to minimize heat gain or loss within the building. Consider exterior shading devices and/or dynamic glass to ward off direct solar rays and diffuse daylight.

Accessibility and ADA compliance The building must meet or exceed the guidelines set forth both in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and American National Standard “Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities” 2003. The design should consider these guidelines broadly, with the understanding that many people with temporary disabilities or with physical limitations that do not consider themselves disabled will use the library.

Drinking fountains Public drinking fountains need to be located near the Restrooms.

Electrical power, cabling and distribution Equip the building with a ﬂexible, universal electrical and telecommunications distribution infrastructure that will support the Library’s wiring and cabling needs, current and future. Locate distribution point(s) so that horizontal cable runs are a maximum of 300 feet. Over time, the Library must be able to reconﬁgure the placement of electronic equipment throughout the public space of the building to meet changing service needs. Library customers need to be able to plug in a laptop 57

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

INTERIOR ISSUES (CONTINUED) computer or similar device at any seat within the building. Raised flooring should be considered wherever possible to support flexibility for equipment and furniture placement. Consider how cabling will be replaced or upgraded in the future. Provide a structured wiring solution that is either capable of providing gigabit to the desktop, or capable of being upgraded to do so. Electrical closets must be sized to house electrical and cabling needs for all building systems, including security, power, coaxial cable, telecommunications, emergency wiring, and any other systems. The wiring closet should provide for free-standing racks accessible, with at least three feet of clearance on all sides, and be of sufficient size to hold the routers, switches, and power supplies needed to run the building’s telecommunications infrastructure. The HVAC system must be able to keep the temperature and humidity in the wiring closet to acceptable parameters, The building design needs to support wireless access throughout the facility. The building infrastructure, shelving and furniture should be specified with this technology in mind. There should be no ‘dead spots’ for WiFi coverage in the building. WiFi and electrical outlets need to be available to the public outside the building as well as inside.

Electronic workstations for the public In the public spaces of the building, individual workstations are required that can support whatever electronic devices are needed. In addition, many of these units will have attached peripheral equipment, such as scanners or printers. Because planning for this technology involves so many unknowns, the program includes space for generic workstations that can accommodate any of these equipment types. Most of the Library computer workstations are sit-down units with a few stand up stations and at least one ADA height station. Planning for electronic workstations should take into account both the wide variety of platforms required by the public today, as well as recognize that customers increasingly want to use their own device in tandem with those available at the Library. Provision for use of BYOD tech in conjunction with that supplied by the Library requires ample space around each workstation, as well as space from programs run entirely on BYOD tech. Computer workstations must be easily movable throughout the building. About one in ten tables holding a public workstation should be adjustable in height. Lighting, especially daylighting of areas with a concentration of electronic workstations needs to be carefully considered to avoid glare. Monitors should be conﬁgured so that everyone faces the same way, and that space can be easily monitored for customers who require assistance.

Energy conservation and sustainability Building design strategies for the building’s orientation, energy management system, HVAC system, and lighting should be considered on the basis of their contribution toward lowering overall life-cycle costs of the building without reducing the functionality of the building as a library. Programmable thermostats should be included in the building’s HVAC speciﬁcation. Use of motion sensitive lighting in selected areas is desirable, especially in closed ofﬁces, conference rooms and similar spaces. 58

PROGRAM

PROPOSED PROGRAM : QUALITATIVE

HVAC and lighting controls should be accessible via the Internet. HVAC controls and zones should allow for differences in the programming of staff, public, and meeting room spaces. Use of photovoltaics for LED lighting may be considered, especially in exterior applications. Consider use of rainwater for grounds irrigation. Recycling of construction waste should also be considered.

Flexibility, modularity and expandability of design The building interior layout should be open plan and modular with interior load bearing columns and a minimum of interior walls to maximize flexibility and openness. Over time, it must be possible to relocate book stacks within the building as Library service needs evolve. Flexibility should be a prime consideration in the design of every aspect of the building, including lighting, heating and ventilating systems, electrical power distribution and cabling. A square or rectangular configuration of space is highly desirable to allow for maximum efficiency and functionality in placement of shelving and furniture. Avoid circular or eccentrically shaped spaces if they will house shelving for Library collections. The library will change over time. The building should support these changes by: • Developing scenarios, including furniture and equipment sketches for the building, indicating what spaces can be re-configured as community requirements change, and what cannot be changed based on the requirement of different types of spaces. • Where feasible, relocating stairs, elevators, risers, and ducts to the perimeter of the building • Designing wiring closets and structured wiring installation in ways that are easily accessible for increasing bandwidth, including separate conduits for power distribution and low voltage cabling.

Floor coverings Floor coverings should be both attractive and durable. High quality, commercial grade, anti-static nylon carpet with a low, narrow loop or carpet tile, for low maintenance, with a life expectancy of a minimum of ﬁfteen years is required for most public and staff spaces. Hard surface ﬂoor coverings, such as vinyl, tile or stone, as affordable, may be used in areas requiring regular clean-up, such as the break room, restrooms, and craft areas.

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Plan for future FF&E and reserve a portion of the budget for purchase during ﬁrst year occupancy in order to respond to changes in how staff and customers use the building.

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

INTERIOR ISSUES (CONTINUED) Furniture, fixtures and equipment should be of high quality as well as physically and aesthetically durable, able to stand up to years of hard use in an institutional environment. Use of modular furniture enhances flexibility. Furniture or millwork holding electronic equipment must provide sufficient airflow to keep the equipment cool, and five inches of access on all sides of the equipment. Furniture or millwork holding electronic equipment must provide for cable management. Furniture or millwork must avoid sharp edges and corners and must not provide opportunities for children to climb. Furniture should meet ADA requirement allowing individuals in wheelchairs to use without knee obstructions The new library should have furnishings that support the activities intended in the programed spaces. Furnishings should be designed to be durable and to have material finishes that are easily maintained. The Library may want to establish a maintenance program to inform the design team where furniture needs to be specified as an “investment” for years, and where it could be furniture that will be replaced in a shorter time frame. For example, the Community Living Room may be designed for furnishings to last 20 years, with a 5-10 year re-upholstery program, while the teen space may be designed to replace furnishings every 2-3 years. The design team and the client will want to consider that furniture budgets for public libraries are higher in some program spaces and lower in other program spaces, and with less traditional shelving being specified, furniture budgets are higher than we have seen in recent years. Budgets can go up to $30-$35/SF as opposed to $22-$26/SF, which was industry standard 10 years ago. It is recommended that a furniture budget is established to coincide with the Schematic Design pricing set to establish a strategy. We also encourage exploring options both within the library industry and outside of the library industry. Great products can be found through the hospitality, retail and restaurant industry for options that are not typically associated with library furniture. The purpose being to select furnishings that reflect the community’s character, as well as to create the contemporary, accessible look and feel that we heard from the focus groups. Furniture is often critical to program and activity success. It is advised that the furniture package is developed and designed in parallel with the building design. The value of furniture is that it is imminently flexible! It is amazing how rooms can change purpose just by changing furnishings! The investment in furnishings is still more cost effective than investing in an additional space and allows the library to adapt to ever-changing programs. We also encourage staff and customers to be involved in the selection process. The Library can set up a “Chair Garden” and have customers and staff rate the results. It is very important to get the teens involved as well. The Library could create a contest to have them design their own furnishings or go “shopping” as part of a Teen Advisory Group activity, for example. All public institutions have to balance the costs of furnishings with the need for long term durability and short term on-going maintenance. We encourage the design team to specify a combination of high performance materials and furnishings that will align with the budget and withstand the heavy use in a public building.

HVAC system and humidity and temperature criteria The building needs to be provided with a complete air conditioning, heating and ventilating system. Ventilation units need to be zoned according to use, room orientation, hours of operation, and current activity. It is critical that a uniform temperature can be consistently maintained throughout the building regardless of variations in ceiling height. Design the mechanical system in accordance with current industry indoor air quality standards and energy

conservation guidelines. Exhaust fans need to be provided for restrooms and kitchen areas. Restrooms and kitchen areas should not spill smells into the building. Electrical and telephone rooms need to be provided with air conditioning and with backup mechanical ventilation units, as needed. Provide access for mechanical maintenance and repairs at the building exterior. Mechanical areas for HVAC units should be open and provide sufﬁcient free area for proper airﬂow and maintenance. The area must be carefully located and treated to mitigate acoustical impacts on the surrounding environment. Access to mechanical equipment should be available as to not disrupt staff or the public. Avoid locating mechanical equipment, ductwork or connections over shelving areas. Special attention needs to be paid to cooling requirement in areas where electronic equipment is likely to be located in bulk (for example, computing labs), or where people will aggregate (for example, the Multifunctional Room) HVAC controls should be Internet accessible.

Lighting The quality of lighting within the Library is a prime design consideration. Lighting in the building must be uniform throughout each space, without glare or excessive contrast. Energy conservation requirements must be achieved while lighting levels and light quality is retained. Minimize the number of different lamp types used, to simplify maintenance and economize on lamp stocking. Use standard lamp types. Avoid placing light ﬁxtures in inaccessible locations or locations that require special scaffolding for access. All light control switches and panels should be conveniently accessible to staff, but not the public. Consider a master control switch in the Staff Workroom. Circuit breakers and light switch panels should have permanent labels identifying the light circuit for each switch or breaker. Access to light fixtures for maintenance should not disrupt staff or public. An emergency lighting system needs to be incorporated into the lighting plan. Emergency and exit lighting must meet any applicable state or local codes. Emergency lighting powered by rechargeable batteries must be installed in both public and staff areas. The exit and emergency warning system should include lights for the deaf. Emergency lighting should last at least one hour and direct staff and customers to the exit(s). There should be a means of testing the emergency lighting without triggering security or ﬁre alarms. Consider LED lighting to save on energy and maintenance costs. Incorporate multiple levels of lighting into the lighting design: task, ambient, and accent in ways that enhance the planned activity for the space. See the following page for recommended light levels for Libraries provided by the IES indicated in foot-candles.

This should not be used as an excuse to light the whole library to 50 foot-candles, just because there are always soem low contrast tasks interspread throughout the library. The higher light level would apply only in specific areas, such as collection of phone books. 35 foot-candles

6 foot-candles

Book stacks must be lit evenly across the stack face so that titles and call numbers can be easily found and read. The lighting level should be a minimum of 6 foot-candles measured vertically on the face of the book spine at a height of 12 inches above the ﬂoor, and a maximum of 35 footcandles at any height, so that no more than a 6:1 ratio results across the entire vertical face of the book stack. Daylight should be introduced above and behind the patron so that book titles are illuminated without glare. See the diagram to the left.

PROPOSED PROGRAM : QUALITATIVE

Maintenance Design the building to require low maintenance, both inside and outside. This is a prime consideration for the selection of building materials, finishes and mechanical systems as well as the furnishings and equipment. All spaces in the library must be easily cleaned and as impervious as possible to abuse. Avoid finishes that require frequent painting, polishing, waxing or the necessity to treat any surface. Design the building so that interior lights can be changed using hand equipment without scaffolding. All materials and products should be specified as standard sizes and colors for economical replacement.

Network Infrastructure Subject to available bandwidth, network infrastructure should be capable of supporting speeds of at least 4 MB down, and 1 MB up per user at peak times of building occupancy, upgradable to support gigabit to the desktop. This applies to both Library-owned and BYOD IP addressable devices (tablets, laptops, mobile devices and ‘wearables’). This requirement includes WiFi infrastructure which should be ubiquitous the building perimeter, and presumes that every occupant has at least one mobile device. Outside seating areas on Library property; the ‘waiting areas’ outside of Library entrances; and book return induction areas should also be within the WiFi zone.

Openness and sight lines The building must be able to operate efﬁciently, with a minimum of staff. Avoid public access spaces that are secluded or cut off from view by staff or from the main public space. Non-public areas must be secure, so that the public cannot enter these areas undetected.

Raised floor Build the floor above the concrete slab to facilitate the flexibility of HVAC ductwork, electrical conduit to outlets, structured wiring and low voltage wiring.

Restrooms Restrooms must be easy for the public to find, designed for durability and able to resist vandalism. Energy efficient fixtures, such as sensor faucets, may be specified, and alternative strategies, such as gray water plumbing systems, may be considered. Restrooms must be separately vented and acoustically separated from adjacent spaces. The public restrooms need special consideration for heating and cooling suitable to the season.

Program Document East Las Vegas Library

INTERIOR ISSUES (CONTINUED)

Safety and security The building must be designed to ensure the safety and security of both public and staff. Public spaces must be well lighted with a minimum of areas outside direct visual control by staff at service points or away from regular paths of travel. Public service spaces in separate rooms, such as Group Study Rooms, need windows facing the public space to enable effective monitoring of activity within them. Access to these spaces may be controlled from a service point. A building intrusion security alarm is needed, with a control point at the staff entrance and a connection to a remote alarm monitored by a security dispatch service, if possible. The intrusion system needs to monitor all exterior windows and doors. Access to staff areas should be by access card and not require keys, including the staff entrance. The placement and systems integration of access control pads to be worked out in conjunction with Library security services. The Library needs to be planned with the safety of the public and staff in mind and designed to meet all state and local fire safety codes. Heavily used walking surfaces both outside and inside the building should be nonskid materials that are durable and attractive. The design of the Library furniture and casework should avoid sharp corners, especially in the children’s area. The Library should be equipped to accommodate RFID or similar technology, including a materials security system that allows staff to deactivate a security sensor in each item as it is checked out, with preference given to Radio-Frequency ID systems. The deactivated material may then be carried through the security system gates by the customer. If the material carried has not been deactivated, an audible alarm will sound. The security point should be located reasonably close to the self check-out stations and service point. Layout of this system needs to be carefully coordinated with Library staff during design to ensure that desired security levels are achieved Security cameras should provide coverage of interior and exterior of the building, including parking lots, and be accessible over the network. DVRs should record at least one-months’ worth of security footage at a resolution high enough to provide adequate facial recognition. Placement, coverage, and systems integration of camera system will need to be worked out in conjunction with Library security services. An AED Device should be located on each floor. An area of rescue assistance should be located on the second floor for those who may not be able to use the stairs in an emergency. If there are two emergency stairwells on the second floor, both should have a rescue assistance area.

Shelving Shelving to house the collections, unless otherwise stated, will be steel book stack adjustable shelving, each shelf 36” in length, hung on vertical uprights braced in accordance with current seismic resistance standards. Shelves must be steel cantilever or bracket-type shelving. Unitary construction of legs and uprights is required, with minimal bolting. The paint must be applied with an epoxy powder ﬁnish. Shelving uprights will be standard heights of 66” (maximum of 4 adjustable shelves and one base shelf) or 42” (maximum of 2 adjustable shelves and one base shelf). 90” single faced units may be used along walls but are not desirable as open ranges. 64

Stack ranges are two or more 3-foot shelving sections that have been ganged together. Ranges with a maximum of six to eight sections each are preferred. Ranges should be laid out in clusters that are logical to the first-time user, so that a systematic stack range numbering system can be employed, to allow a logical arrangement of the collection. In general, wall-mounted shelving is desirable only if arranged parallel to freestanding shelves. Consider the use of mobile shelving (45” and 66” high units), on lockable casters, in areas of adult, teen and children’s collections, to increase flexibility for temporary repositioning of shelves for programming or other purposes. This movable, easily reconfigurable retail shelving should form the bulk of what occurs on the floor. All public area shelving will require stack end panels with label holders at each end, kick plates and top plates. Alternating slat wall and fabric- wrapped tackable surfaces are preferred on stack ends throughout the collection to allow staff to display books, posters and other items. All specialty shelving and shelving accessories must be integrated with the overall shelving system. Book ends or hanging dividers must accommodate various sizes of materials. They must be able to slide easily when shelves are being rearranged and yet not bend or “give” under the weight of the books. Shelves must have a rear edge back stop to prevent items from falling behind the shelf. The lowest two shelves of each section may be specified as tilt-up, to facilitate easy reading of book titles on the lowest shelf. 65

Surplus materials stock The Library requires extra stock of all materials used in the building, such as acoustical ceiling tiles, lamps and lighting ﬁxtures, carpet, vinyl and ceramic tile. The construction documents need to specify the amount of extra stock for each item

Wire management Employ concealed wire management strategies at each public technology workstation, staff workstation and at each service desk. Allow easy access to power and to library and external networks at or slightly above work surface height. Both Library-owned desktop computers and customer-owned laptops must be supported. There must be no exposed wiring on the floor or hanging from furniture. The data and power interface between the building and furniture must be easy to use, difficult to damage and tucked away from traffic. No ceiling poles should be used.

Bins, Ergo-Carts, and Tote Lifter for Sorter- Each sort destination should be configured with a large bin or possibly “ergo-carts” for one or two sort destinations for items that will be shelved very quickly (e.g. holds). The ergo-carts do not need to be unloaded from bins to book carts. Instead the carts themselves can be taken from the sorter directly to the stacks for shelving. One sort destination should be configured with a tote-lifter that will be used to hold 1-3 totes and which can be used to move the totes to the Sorting Rack for inter Library delivery sorting that has to be done manually. These tote lifters eliminate the need to carry any delivery totes. Staging Areas- Staging areas near the sorter must be provided for additional empty bins (5’x7’ area for two large bins) and empty book carts (15’x3’ for 12 carts). Another staging area for ready-to-shelve carts should be provided near the door that leads out to the public area. Approximately 10’x3’ for 5-7 ready-to-shelve carts. Space should be allocated for incoming delivery bins. The Library receives 20-25 bins once a day and sometimes twice a day. This area should accommodate 4 stacks of the Library’s delivery bins (8’x6’). This area should be marked off and used only for this purpose Space should be allocated for extra lids and empty bins (2’x7’) and this should be out of the way (tucked away in an awkward corner)and also marked off and dedicated to this purpose. It may be possible to provide space for empty bins and lids in the sorting rack described below.

Sorting Rack for InterLibrary Delivery Totes- The sort room requires a Sorting Rack that can hold at least 25 delivery totes without requiring staff to reach higher than their shoulders to sort into the totes. Ideally the totes are angled so they can see inside the tote and easily re-arrange material. The Sorting Rack should be relatively close to the end of the sorter because the contents of one of the sorter bins is going to be manually sorted to the totes in the sorting rack. Mending/Processing Stand-Up Work Table One table should be provided that is big enough for a couple people to use at one time. Supplies should be stored underneath for mending and processing supplies (labels, scissors, tape, etc). There might need to be a couple bigger shelves for things like heavy duty staplers, laminating machines, and other things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used everyday (so should not be on the counter-top) but which are used often enough that they should be stored there (in a designated and labeled spot so everyone always knows where they are). Misc Shelving There will also need to be shelving for extra supplies, missing pieces that are in process, seasonal collections, overflow and other things. Ideally, each workstation will have some shelving and there will also be at least one range of open shelves that is accessible for everyone in the dept. Supplies Closet and Other Equipment There are currently two supplies closets but one is intended for coats so three storage closets are recommended so that one can be actually used for coats. The storage closets should be near the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MFP (copier, printer, scanner) and there should be a counter available for organizing materials while using the machines. Lockers for staff personal effects are also required. A sink would be nice too. A wall safe needs to be installed in one of the supply closets. The safe holds the cash register money drawers overnight, so it mus be large enough to hold four cash drawers. The Library would prefer wall installation, but if that is not ideal, a counter for the safe should be provided so that the safe is off the floor. Adjacent to the safe in the closet, there should be a counter large enough to hold a large cash drawer and a few supplies, such as coin sorters and wrappers. This counter will be used to count out the cash drawers each evening and prepare the deposit for delivery to Main Library. Staff will access the safe and perform these duties daily, so its location should be easily accessible within the closet and without obstruction.

Administration + Support Adjacencies Circulation/Sort Room, Public Hold Area, Staff Lounge, Lockers, Staff Restrooms Finishes, Furnishings, and Considerations: Each workstation should have its own phone, computer, drawers, cabinet and shelves. Technology may be such that 5 docking stations are needed (one at each workstation) and a laptop or tablet is issued to each staff member rather than a desktop computer at each workstation. Each office will have a computer workstation, phone, desk, and shelving. Collaborative work tables should be located at the center of the space.

Environmental + Engineering Needs Acoustics: Open Staff Work Area: 35-40 NC Rating Private Office: 30-35 NC Rating Lighting: General indirect lighting; 30 fc; Direct, non glare task lighting at each workstation; Separate control switches for workroom and supervisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office HVAC + Control: User comfort; 35-65% RH Separate thermostatic control should be available for this room, with control located in a secure location

Electrical and Data: Power and data for each computer workstation and floor boxes with power and data for central worktables Finishes: Carpeted floor, acoustic ceiling, tackable wall surfaces

Approach to Collections This program represents an approach to Collections Development where the collections that are housed in the new East Las Vegas Library will be “curated” based on the community’s interests and needs. We approached the allocation of square footage and the size of the collection based on research of peer institutions and deliberately creating a proper “balance” of learning opportunities and dedicated space to the materials that enable these. This program document lists collections priorities, indicating dedicated square feet. The selected design team will need to continue to work with the District staff to develop the collections as the program develops.

Technology and Special Equipment Nothing is changing more rapidly than the tools we utilize to deliver 21st century library services! This program strongly encourages a raised floor for flexible electrical distribution. Even if this becomes financially unfeasible, then the design team may want to zone the library or use pull-down power sources, commonly used in Makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spaces. The primary goal will be to maximize the Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunity to change programming and to provide the customer the most flexibility to access power. For this program, the East Las Vegas staff has outlined technology and equipment needs based on the overall program goals.

Designed for Activities Essential to the program development approach is that the spaces are designed around programs and activities, not collections, reader seating or other benchmarks programmers utilized in the past. They are intended to illustrate this approach based on the programmatic goals and priorities of the East Las Vegas branch. These diagrams are intended to represent a suggested approach to space design to support learning goals.

Zone Diagrams The zoning diagrams illustrate how Connected Learning and HOMAGO could be applied to the space planning of the new East Las Vegas Library. They are suggestive and representational and not intended to be literal. At the core of each Zone is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;socialâ&#x20AC;? gathering space that is key to Connected Learning inter-space learning principles. These diagrams are intended to represent a suggested approach to space design to support learning goals.
