Renovation of a library in Anchorage, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a library.

Renovate the Learning Commons located on the 4th floor of the Loussac Library to create a vibrant and usable space for library and public use. The room is currently underutilized due to worn flooring, no storage, outdated and impractical built in cubicles, and outdated electrical. It currently serves as the only large multipurpose space in the Loussac Library. It is used for storytimes which have outgrown the storytime theatre on the 2nd floor, school age programming involving crafts and activities, and library staff meetings. The space is also rented by the public; however, many groups pass on the use as the acoustics are very harsh in addition to the poor flooring, lack of a practical audio/video set up and limited electrical access. The project will include: -Space planner, architectural, and engineering design, -New flooring -Removal of built in cabinetry. -Structural and electrical upgrades. -Reconfiguration of layout to maximize usage and functionality. -Possible changes to staff area located adjacent to the space.
