ISBN # 157440-110-6. The report presents detailed data from 65 academic libraries about their completed,
current, or planned library renovation projects. The study includes detailed data on capital spending, 
library redesign budgets, and spending on computer labs & infocommons, in-library classrooms, artwork, 
library furniture, carpeting and other flooring, and other elements of academic library renovations or 
new construction. Details construction preferences for architectural features such as atriums, landscaping, 
better access to restrooms and building entrances/exits, installation or expansion of library cafes, development
of group work areas, better use of natural light, better soundproofing and other design features often sought 
in new academic library construction or renovation. Also explores the use of various renovation and building 
features designed to save energy. Other areas covered include student satisfaction with the library redesign, 
its impact on the use of library services, and governance issues over what campus groups guide and control 
the redesign. Data is broken out by size and type of library, and by libraries that have experienced recent 
renovation projects vs those that have not.
