Age 14-18

Whilst researching images of high school libraries (since high school age range from 13-17[18]), it seems that the layout for this age group is more formalised. Since kids of this age are maturing, they need the right 'spaces' to encourage learning. I have gathered some information in which this will be achieved;

The 14-18 Age Group Area will include -
  • Individual workspaces
  • Presentation spaces
  • Computer workstations
  • Team rooms
  • Seminar/incubator room
  • And of course a library with a reading area
Now all these furnishings will be modern to "lift" and "motivate" the environment for a better learning experience.

Below is an example of a team collaboration library that is designed for Harbour City International School in Minnesota



Of course, the toilets will be located on every level, again kids from age 6-9 will have a smaller scaled bathroom whereas ages 10-18 will have standard sized as they are "becoming adults".
