Library: Design Issues

No daylight in space- Basement level 4- Floor is 60 feet below grade

Narrow stacks- Long rows with only 3 feet between shelves- High vertical illuminance levels needed to identify books

Reading areas- High horizontal illuminance levels needed for reading/writing tasks- Eye strain: students may spend long hours reading
