Project Three :: Development - Schedule of Spaces

I have been thinking about the specific spaces I will have within the building.

After thinking more about how children learn and play I have come to the determination that the space should be divided into three separate areas. These will include and area for the 6 - 9 year olds (and their parents), an area for 10 - 14 year olds and an area for 15 - 18 year olds.

The 6 - 9 year old area will include:
- Climbing wall and ball pit - the mangrove play pond
- Fictional Books and Quiet reading space
- Colouring and Craft space
- Group play space
- Outdoor Play Ground


The 10 - 14 year old area will include:
- Computer area/ workspace (shared)
- Fictional reading material and quiet reading space
- Collaborative group study/ reading space - where book clubs, etc can be held
- Art & Painting & Sculpturing Studio (shared) where classes are held


The 15 - 18 year old area will include:
- Large, open study space - flexible but partially divided with capacity for group working spaces and individual study.
- Laptops and iPads available for borrowing while at the library.
- Group gaming space.
- Fictional Reading material & newspapers and reading space.
- Art & Painting & Sculptural Studio (shared) where classes are held and the space can be booked by students (17 & 18 years) to work on art and design projects.

- Coffee & Cake shop with cafe seating area
- Men's, women's and disabled bathroom facilities
- Lifts x 2, stairs x 2
