Core Webinar: Inheriting & Implementing a Library Facility Master Plan by
Others: Challenges, Strategies & Best Practices (Part 4 of 4-part series)

Date: Wednesday, February 5, 2025

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: CORE/Buildings & Operations: Buildings for College and
University Libraries and Planning & Design Committees are pleased to
present the four-part webinar series “Library Facility Master Plans”.

Library leaders with responsibility for one or more buildings continually
grapple with aging systems and facilities, while also keeping physical
spaces fresh and responsive to evolving service and programming needs.
Without a comprehensive plan, a series of small improvements in individual
rooms or partial floors can lead to an inconsistent patron and staff
experience and inefficient resource use. Additionally, without a master
plan, collection management policies intended to free up library space, can
make library real estate targets for both desirable and less desirable
non-library uses. Administrative support and campus funding requests are
better received when presented within the context of a master plan that
aligns with campus-wide strategic goals.

This series explores the key aspects of a Library Facility Master Plan,
from understanding its necessity and initiation to practical insights about
conducting a master planning process, along with lessons learned. It
features presenters including planners and architects, as well as a wide
spectrum of academic library deans, whose experiences will provide useful
insights.

Session 4: Inheriting & Implementing a Library Facility Master Plan by
Others: Challenges, Strategies & Best Practices, the final session, will
appeal to those new to an institution or role, who are charged with
refining or implementing an already completed library facilities master
plan.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, the attendees will:

   -

   Understand the definition of a Library Facility Master Plan, grasp its
   significance for long-term facility improvement, and gain insight into its
   potential alignment with the library's vision, strategic plan, and the
   institution's priorities and initiatives.
   -

   Identify reasons for needing a master plan, considering both external
   and internal factors, and develop advocacy to secure support from
   university administration, collaborate with key partners, and engage
   stakeholders as champions.
   -

   Assess the resources and efforts needed for a master plan, outline
   outcomes and engagement levels, and strategically leverage the plan to
   kickstart a successful development campaign.
