GOAL VI:  Create and maintain a physical environment that fosters learning and research through enhanced intellectual discourse and exploration.

  1. Agree on minimum standards and phase-in an implementation program to ensure all libraries provide a safe environment for both individuals and materials.

  2. Construct a second high-density storage module at the Library Annex in a timely manner, ensuring that this next module will be operational at the time it is initially needed.

  3. Phase in renovations in Olin and Uris libraries on the basis of the Shepley, Bulfinch, Richardson and Abbott reconceptualization study.

  4. Identify appropriate bench marks for technological infrastructure needed to support multiple, and even unexpected, uses and provide resources to ensure that this level is available in all libraries.

  5. Create flexible spaces that by their size, furnishings, and orientation encourage exploration, innovation, and customization in all modes of information exchange, including individual, collaborative, and classroom.

  6. Conduct feasibility studies for unit libraries as appropriate.
