<div dir="ltr">Hi all, <div>at a past organization we did whiteboard surveys and vision board voting for students to vote on what types of furniture they wanted. Then we took that to three different companies to get quotes and interior decorator advice. It was a very interesting experience. - total cost around 20k in 2018.</div><div>Also at that organization our special collections flooded and we had to redo it. As it was dealing with insurance, I worked with college risk management, and the insurance company to find flooring and shelving that might withstand future flooding. I worked with the student workers to select materials that they liked. In the end though it was just me and the insurance people. reopened in 2019. $30,000 in repairs. </div><div>At another organization (closer to the size of UW than to Shoreline) we had a grant to renovate the main undergraduate study area, reference, computers, coffee shop, etc. We started by sending a group of people around to various similarly sized libraries and took pictures of their newish interiors. Then we shared with a student advisory group. Then I left the organization - 2008, the grant was 200,000 I think.</div><div> </div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,104,94)">Dawn Lowe-Wincentsen, MLIS</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;color:black"><br>
