2009 Maryland Report Card

Current Needs& ProblemsThey need an updated space!

• Furniture is stained and damaged• Carpeting is ripped and coming apart at the seams,

including in high traffic areas• The ventilation system allows for no air circulation and

most days the library is hot and stuffy• Space is cramped – not many people can occupy it at once• Only 6 networked computers are available for student use

Current Media Center

Goals for the New Library• To Create a space that will

accommodate all learners & activities:• Reading

• A separate reading area• Research

• More networked computers • Instruction

• More than 1 class at once• Collaboration

Educational Specification

s

The school library media center’s physical space “serves as an intellectual gymnasium with multiple, flexible spaces that accommodate a variety of learning tasks. Among such tasks are information seeking, collaborating, and communicating, as well as reading and browsing, and use of multi-media formats.”

Environmental Design Elements

Environmental Design Elements

HVAC “The main purposes of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air-

Conditioning (HVAC) system are to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort. HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in schools. The choice and design of the HVAC system can also affect many other high performance goals, including water consumption (water cooled air conditioning equipment) and acoustics.”

- EPA (2010)

Environmental Design Elements

• HVAC 72 – 76 degrees Fahrenheit• HVAC 30% - 60% humidity

– Such conditions ensure patron comfort and limit mold growth and damage to books and technology.

- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)

Environmental Design ElementsLighting

•Reading areas adjustable lighting and/or daylight

•Computer lower light levels – parabolic/projection area louvers or indirect lighting

Our design• Dimming lights near computer area and in instructional area•Brighter lights and windows with electronicshades in reading areas-All lights have control area at entrance/exit.

- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)

Environmental Design ElementsPower Requirements

• “Adequate electrical service and outlets should meet the needs of technical infrastructure that supports a variety of activities.

• Surge protection is needed for computers, peripherals, and communication lines. Built-in surge protection for circuits that support media and technology activities removes the need for multiple surge individual protectors.

• Adequate number of circuits is necessary to distribute electrical load in all areas, especially in production and computer areas.”

- IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs (2006)

Environmental Design Elements

Technological Specifications• Pathways• Network Protocols• Remote Access Capability• Wireless Networking• LAN to WAN• Video Networking

- Onsite Office of Technology Services technician available for consultation, installation and updates

ISTE Standards for Students• “interact, collaborate, and publish with peers,

experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media” (2.a)

• “communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats” (2.b)

• “locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media” (3.b)

• “advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology” (5.a)

• “understand and use technology systems” (6.a)• “transfer current knowledge to learning of new

technologies” (6.d)

- ISTE NETS (2007)

Environmental Design Elements

Acoustics “Excessive noise and reverberation interfere with speech

intelligibility, resulting in reduced understanding and therefore reduced learning. In many classrooms in the United States, the speech intelligibility rating is 75 percent or less. That means that, in speech intelligibility tests, listeners with normal hearing can understand only 75 percent of the words read from a list.”

Acoustics is imperative to ensure students’ learning.

-Acoustical Society of America, Classroom Acoustics (2000).

Environmental Design Elements

Ways to Improve Acoustics• Sound-absorbing lay-in ceiling• Sloped ceiling • Thin carpet on floor• Dual panel partition in walls

Our Design• Sloped ceiling in instructional areas• Thin carpet and partition in perimeter walls

-Acoustical Society of America, Classroom Acoustics (2000)-Salter (2002)

Environmental Design Elements

Flooring“…with appropriate maintenance and replacement

safeguards, carpet is a highly desirable flooring material for library media centers and offices because of its comfort, noise reduction, and appearance” (p. 43).

- MSDE’s Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)

Relocation & Moving

Relocation and Movement Considerations•Know the Date

•Ask for a timeline or create one with staff•Keep patrons and administration informed regarding Media Center timeline•Clean out/ Weed extensively•Divise a great packing/unpacking plan

• What type of boxes?• How much in a box?• The type of label that will be put on the box• Staging materials to be picked up• Labeling new Media Center for easy unpacking

•Know who will be available for moving and unpacking
