Approach
The consultants reviewed movement patterns, reading-seat use, desk touchpoints, and collection adjacency. The proposed plan combined spatial zoning, service repositioning, and staged implementation suited to live campus operations.
Outcome
The renewed layout improved wayfinding, clarified public-service points, and created a more coherent environment for individual study, guided assistance, and academic library use.
Testimonial
“The redesign discussion gave us a practical path to improve user experience without losing operational discipline.”
