Description

Privileged Spaces draws on the knowledge and experience of library leaders, estates directors, space managers and researchers to examine how the demands on library space change due to evolving university estates strategy. It highlights the impact this can have on space retention, service delivery and user satisfaction, demonstrating the importance of library, estates and facilities leaders working in partnership to deliver spaces in alignment with university planning.

As universities continually change their strategy and teaching spaces to meet market demands, library spaces are increasingly in scope for estates development plans in the same way as any university building. Drawing on years of professional experience, the authors provide guidance on fostering an effective working relationship with a range of university departments, making the case for investment in libraries, engaging stakeholders to support library development, and influencing university estates strategy.

This book features case studies to illustrate the successes and challenges of delivering small to large library space projects. This is an ideal reference for library directors, staff, and planning professionals who want to ensure their library space meets the needs of its users and the wider university.
