Before launching a facility project, nonprofit boards and CEOs should have a clear sense of the entire process, with its opportunities and pitfalls, so they can maximize value while minimizing costs, risks and stress. This webinar will address the critical information a board and CEO need to have, and the work they need to do, before hiring an architect. It will cover roles and responsibilities (board, staff, architects, contractors, consultants), strategy, planning, programming, budgeting, architect and contractor selection, and client-favorable contracts.

Apr'15: Library Makerspaces: From Dream to Reality (Library Juice Academy)
April 6 to May 1st, 2015
http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/114-makerspaces.php
$175
Designing a makerspace for your library is an ambitious project that requires significant staff time and energy. The economic, educational and inspirational rewards for your community and your library, however, will make it all worthwhile. This class will make the task of starting a makerspace less daunting by taking librarians step by step through the planning process. Using readings, online resources, discussions and hands-on exercises, participants will create a plan to bring a makerspace or maker activities to their libraries. Topics covered will include tools, programs, space, funding, partnerships and community outreach. This is a unique opportunity to learn in depth about one public library's experience creating a fully-functioning makerspace, while also exploring other models for engaging libraries in the maker movement.

Nov: New Approaches to Existing Spaces (Demco)
Wednesday, Nov. 5 (12-1 pm Mountain)
Library needs are rapidly changing, creating a need for space refreshes or renovations to keep up. Many libraries find themselves in a position where they need to address new carpeting or furniture, shelving layouts that are not working, inefficient staff desks, challenging sight lines, changing technology or just want to change their user experience — all on a limited budget. This is an opportunity to take a fresh look at how to support your vision for the future and better position your library to meet those needs. Whether a single space or an entire library, you will discover new ideas to help realize your vision.

Jul: Making Your Space: Creators and Makers in the Library (WebJunction)
July 9 (12-1 pm) Mountain
There’s a transformation going on in libraries—a shift in
emphasis from consuming information to convening and creating. Makerspaces in
libraries are a big part of this conversation, where the learning and
camaraderie are just as significant as tools like 3D printers. If the idea of a
makerspace conjures up the hurdles for you (limited space, limited resources,
or limited confidence in your own tech skills), this webinar will help you learn
how to get started and grow a space in your library for creating. Together, we
will debunk the hype, learn how to define your library’s scope and audience,
get your board on board, and find creative partners in your community.

May: Transforming Library Space for Community Engagement (Webjunction)
May 22, 2014
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time
As libraries expand their focus from collections to creation, physical spaces are being transformed in ways that enhance community engagement in the digital age. Rethink how your library’s space might be configured to better enable your patrons to interact with technology and with each other. While future-facing libraries are pushing boundaries, the public still perceives libraries as being primarily about books. Learn how some key alterations to existing library space can refresh public perceptions. We’ll look at a variety of projects, ranging from larger room renovations to smaller libraries who redefined space on a modest scale, yet still had a strong impact on the community.

May: A New Digital Media Commons for Northeastern University (LLAMA)
The age of the digital media commons has arrived, leaving in its wake yesterday’s traditional academic library. But how do library planners begin to make this dramatic transition?
This webinar will present practical techniques that were used during the 2012 renovation of Northeastern University’s main library. This renovation created a new setting for collaborative learning. Administrators requested that the work be done on an accelerated schedule within a fixed budget. In addition, all library operations needed to continue uninterrupted on a 24/7 basis throughout the course of construction.
Wilson Architects worked closely with the library, the College of Media and Design, the Information Technology Group, facilities planning and student and faculty groups to develop a unified vision for the library renovation and manage the complex implementation process.
The result is a new Digital Media Commons that completely changes the way in which students, faculty, and staff learn, educate, and collaborate.
Webinar participants will learn:
• Key environmental trends affecting campus libraries
• How to create shared visions for a diverse constituency
• Master planning to integrate emerging digital technologies
• How to use prototypes to test design concepts
• Construction Phasing strategies that preserve library functionality
• Cost estimating techniques that ensure accurate budgets
• New approaches to interior design that support digital collaboration
Fees:
LLAMA member: $49
Non-LLAMA member $59
LLAMA group rate (5 or more people at one site) $199 Non-LLAMA group rate (5 or more people at one site) $239
