[CASL-L] HS libraries--square footage?

[KALUZYNSKI SARA]

Greetings!

I need help!

We are facing a rebuild/renovation.  The plans keep changing but a recent design was 2,600 square feet, 30% smaller than my current small library.  I

I'm now hearing 4,800 including storage, lab, office, etc. on a new plan.

To enlarge the plans involve "taking away" space from gyms, etc. (not commenting on that). The thought process may also include the belief that a large library isn't needed for a digital world.

Can you please share any stats you have handy so I have a leg to stand on?
