Hi,
We are planning a new library in our city which has a population of 80,000 people. We are including space for an auditorium and a makerspace.
In addition, we are also considering three other ideas that may be more controversial and we are not sure if they have been tried elsewhere, or how successful they are likely to be. We are including the provision of space for a:
- Planetarium.
- Recording studio.
- Physics museum.
Early research suggests that the planetarium will require a ceiling that is fifteen feet above the ground. We hope to provide a recording studio for local musicians. We have seen a physics museum in Lisbon, Portugal which we like. It featured very small exhibits illustrating, for example, how a lever works, how electricity can create a magnet, etc.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has experience in providing any of these spaces in their libraries, and I would appreciate any advice you can offer.
Regards
John
