Scope of Work

The Lane Medical Center Library has myriad study spaces; many areas combine alcoves, 24/7 study rooms, private cubicles, lounges, computer centers, and even a courtyard patio with umbrella-covered tables. Libraries are quiet spaces, of course, and this renovation included a specific section—the Quiet Zone—in which library users must refrain from talking, eating and drinking, or using noisy technology. Lane’s geometrically detailed building is so stunning that the library offers monthly tours to new students and campus visitors. This project includes to design and construct new conditioned air throughout the first and second floor of the Lane Medical Center library. A new 400 SF Medical Library Archives expansion with humidity control, private study area, computer work area and private study cubicles and new flooring and finishes on the ground floor.
