Hi, We used Library Design, Kyle Haning, [ mailto:kyle@librarydesign.com, | kyle@librarydesign.com, ] and were very happy with them. They were thorough and came up with some creative ideas. Our space study cost $10,000 and took several months, although some of that was my fault. Good luck, Deb Hemmye Library Director Huntington Woods Public Library 26415 Scotia Road Huntington Woods, MI 48070 248-543-9720, ext. 686 Currently reading Cantoras by Carolina De Robertis From: "Michlib" <michlib-l@mcls.org> To: "Michlib" <michlib-l@mcls.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2025 2:40:18 PM Subject: [Michlib-l] Space Utilization Studies, Master Planning, and library expansion projects Good afternoon, We are planning for an expansion project and an architecture firm we are considering working with suggested a good starting point would be a space utilization study followed by creation of a master plan (we don't have one currently) to help focus the scope of the project. We received a quote from the firm for each. My board discussed and would like me to gather more information about SUS's and master plans and attempt to solicit quotes from other firms for comparison. If you have experience with either of these—either hiring them done or doing them in house—and have some time to discuss, I would love to talk with you! Thank you, Jessica Little T.A.
