Educational
The planning of university libraries should follow the principle of "practicality first, moderate advancement", giving priority to ensuring core functions such as learning, borrowing and collaboration. Through modular design and technology integration, high cost-effectiveness, easy maintenance and sustainable space operation should be achieved
Centering on user needs
Dynamic and static zoning
Clearly demarcate the quiet study area from the collaborative discussion area, and reduce distractions through physical partitions or spatial distances.
Set up "silent cabins" or independent booths to meet the needs of in-depth reading.
Resource accessibility
High-frequency circulation books are placed on the lower floors or near the entrance, while professional books are arranged in layers by subject.
Set up prominent self-service search terminals and navigation signs to shorten the path for finding books.
Based on functional zoning
All basic functions are fully covered
Self-study area: Equipped with sufficient power sockets and lighting.
Borrowing Area: The distance between bookshelves should be no less than 1.2 meters, and reserved passage space should be provided.
Electronic Reading Area: Computers, printers and high-speed Internet are provided.
Flexible and multi-functional space
The use of movable tables and chairs as well as folding partitions enables the same area to be switched to self-study, lecture or exhibition modes.
The corner Spaces such as corridors and atriums are utilized as simple leisure areas (water dispensers + seats).
Adhere to the principle of sustainability
Energy conservation and environmental protection
Priority natural lighting design, L E D intelligent lighting zone control.
Select wear-resistant and easy-to-clean materials to reduce maintenance costs.
Modular design
The bookshelves and partitions can be disassembled and reassembled to adapt to future layout adjustments.
Aim for maximizing spatial efficiency
Vertical space utilization
The upper floors are equipped with low-frequency bookshelves or compact shelving systems, while the lower floors focus on serving high-frequency areas.
Install hanging bookshelves or display boards on the wall.
Time period management
During off-peak hours, vacant classrooms are opened as extended self-study areas to increase their flexibility.
Some areas are open at night (such as the 24-hour self-study room).
