Library building brief
Carnes Hill Library
These templates will help you write your library building brief.
The library building brief template helps you to outline the requirements of a new, extended or refurbished building. You can use the brief to inform discussion and further planning with the design team. If you have engaged an architect you can work with them to write the brief.
The brief should be prepared following community consultation and needs analysis.
Templates for library design briefs
There are two library brief templates, one for smaller libraries and one for larger libraries. These are a starting point and you may find that you want to use components of each template to help you outline the needs for your library service and building. There are sections throughout the templates for you to modify and add your own information. The Room data sheets include suggestions under some sections but many have been left blank for you to add relevant details.
