W.U.C.E. - Initial planning

From investigating precedents I have determined there to be 3 key areas within a library.  The mixing room, services and work areas make up the required spaces.  Locating this areas in a sequence becomes challenging and how these areas access the surrounds are also vital.

The mixing room:
- Librarian support
- Cafe
- IT support
- informal student meeting place

Services:
- Toilets
- Lift
- Stairs
- Printing

Work Areas (Flexible Compartments):
- Individual space
- Group space
- Formal space
- Informal Space
