Be Your Own Architect: Manage Renovation Projects Internally - Part 1, Eric C. Shoaf
Be Your Own Architect: Manage Renovation Projects Internally - Part 1, Eric C. Shoaf
Eric C. Shoaf

Many of these projects involve re-purposing space freed from shelving or other uses, where the total of-the project is to remove the shelves and place new furniture. Further, many have realized that architects and engineers are expensive; and when it comes to renovating an open space, it may be possible to use internal library staff to complete the project.
