This room had to fulfill many functions. There needed to be plenty of storage for books, IT desking and study tables but also had to be a hub for the community where meetings could take place. Curved shelving was added for interest and this allowed spaces for built-in booth seats. The conference table can seat 20 when together as an oval but can be reconfigured for smaller groups. The issue desk was centrally located to keep an eye on all areas but provide easy access to the office area.
