Digital access to all sources of information continues to expand at an accelerating rate, and academic libraries are working to transform themselves in response to a generation of students entering the university having embraced online, mobile, anytime, anywhere access to information. In an academic community that increasingly values intellectual collaboration among faculty and students, and learning in and out of the classroom, the twenty-first century academic library must continually recreate itself as a place that fosters curiosity, engagement, collaboration, and lifelong learning.
Typical twentieth-century capital investment cycles in academic libraries are characterized by large-scale once-a-generation investments. In the first decade of the twenty first century the drive to transform is greater than ever before, but there is less capital funding available, increasing the pressure on institutions to reduce capital investment cycle times in order to remain responsive to rapid changes in technology, pedagogy, scholarship, and user expectations.
The end of any project is the start of evaluation and planning for the next. This presentation explores and discusses efforts in the Emory University Libraries to develop new ways to evaluate library spaces, services, and operations. It highlights initiatives intended to operationalize capital investment, shorten cycle times and provide incremental interventions, within a general framework of planning big and implementing small. Exit counts, occupancy rates, and peer comparisons are used to address user needs, program innovation, and facilities enhancement, with the aim of continually refreshing and renewing library spaces to enhance learning, inspire scholarship, and foster community.

Redefining Sustainable Design: The New AIA COTE MeasuresEskew+Dumez+Ripple
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Committee on the Environment (COTE) is the oldest U.S. program dedicated to sustainable design. In 1997, COTE introduced its annual Top Ten Awards, “the profession's best known recognition program for sustainable design excellence” (AIA), to celebrate exemplary projects and give the industry guidance on how to integrate green building principles. In 2015, to mark its 25th anniversary, COTE embarked on a landmark research initiative to study the first two decades of Top Ten, published in 2016 as Lessons from the Leading Edge. Part of the research was to revisit the program’s criteria of evaluation, known as the COTE Measures of Sustainable Design. The result of this effort was to overhaul the program with a completely new set of principles and metrics. The 2017 Top Ten Awards are the first year to use new criteria such as economic impact and more robust metrics for health and resilience. In this presentation, three members of the COTE Advisory Group presented the new criteria and engage the audience in a lively discussion about what defines sustainable design.

Small Construction Project on an empty land
Introduction of the project:
This is our final project in Introduction to Construction Industry (ICI). In these projects, we are
required to pair up with another to complete this project. This project involves the design, funding
and construction of a small construction project on a 30m x 30m empty land within Malaysia. In this
project, we can experience the role of different specialist such as the architecture, quantity
surveyor, engineer and developer that work in a construction project. Besides, we can have a
clearer mind on the procedure involve getting project approval from the local authority.
Description of the site
The site we choose is situated at JalanDeshon,96000 Sibu Sarawak. The site of land is
around 30m x 40m. Actually this site is a bare land which abandoned 2 years ago as
the price of it is too expensive. We feel that this site hasunlimitedhidden potential as
it is surrounded by residential area and there is a lot of people passing around this
siteevery day. Furthermore, this site is found in Sibu which is the capital of Sarawak
and has the densest population in the state.
(refer to appendix for more picture on the site)

Site Location:
Site Analysis –Observation on the site
The site we choose is only a bare land with lots of weeds, trees, and domestic rubbish
as well. The residents nearby use this land as a temporary car park for their car. We

also found out that the soil structure there is a bit soft. The land we selected is totally
flat and has no slope on it, hence the site don’t have topography on it.
Site Analysis –Amenities of the site
There are two amenities found within 1 km from the site, which is:
The Shopping Mall – Delta Mall is from 590m from the site.
Methodist Church –Hwai Ang Methodist Church is 340.57m from the site.

Site Analysis – Microclimate and Air Circulation on the site
Site Analysis –Situation and condition on the site
Since the land we chosen is situated in the middle of the residential area, hence
there is no traffic congestion around this area. The noise level here is also low which
shows a reading of below 40 dB at all time. A portion of the site is sometimes
occupied by the elders to do exercise and the children are there as well for outdoor
activities.
Prospective Value of the Site
After doing site analysis, we found out that there is no any recreational area around
the town. There is also limited commercial area within the walk-able range around
the area.
Furthermore, since the site is surrounded by residential area, the residents there will
become the potential customers and visitors to our newly proposed area.

Proposal 2: Commercial Area
Reasons:
The reasons on why we proposed a commercial areathere mainly because the selected land is surrounded by
the residents. Based on our site visit, there is no any commercial building available on the selected area. We
feel that there is hidden potential to attract the residents and as well as the people outside to this site if we
develop this land as commercial area.
Suggestion:
We propose to build a big food court that can house about 500 people at the same time.To fully utilize the
land, the building is built in 2-storey where the ground floor serve as the food court and the second floor
serve as family entertainment centre and gym centre. The food court will be an open-aired one where the
customers can enjoy their meals under the sky. An open-air food court at the same time will also become
the main attraction for the food court. There will also be some shop lots built around the food court for the
convenience of the customers here.
Project Objectives:
The project needs to be able to respond to the aims of the client and should be able to embody and deliver
the following objective and characteristics:
People can enjoy their meal in comfortable space.
Provide a green view on the area.
Give convenience to the residents nearby.
Develop the area near the selected land.
Fully utilize the bare and empty land.
Does not cause disturbance to the residential area.
Provide job opportunity.
Provide a space for community to get closer to each other.
Produce higher complexity, safety level, and attractiveness to the area.

Proposed zoning of the food court: Proposed floor plan of the food court:
Ideas of the proposed food court:
1) Proposed Car Park
The car park is landscape with trees, and shrubs. The parking lot is in standard size of 3.5m x 6m. The road
for the car park will be around 4m wide which can make 2 cars passes on the same time. There will be one
entrance on North-East, one exit on East-Southand a one-way road for the cars. This design is similar to the
petrol stations to reduce the traffic congestion.

2) Proposed First Floor
The food court will be the open-aired. The roof of the food court can be slide to open or close when
necessary with the mechanism as shown. The area of floors on the top around the dining space is removed
so that the people dining there can directly look up to the sky when the roof is opened. Furthermore, we will
build a mini water fountain on the centre to become a side attraction for the food court. Blossom of flower,
shrubs and trees will be planted around the food court as well.
3) Proposed Second Floor
The floor plan of the second floor will be in “U”-shaped. This is because the area in the middle floor is
removed so that people on the ground floor able to look up to the sky without any blockage. The “U”-shaped
second floor is separated into left wing and right wing. The left wing serves as the family entertainment
centre where there are karaoke, snooker, cyber café and other facilities provided. On the right wing, we
proposed to build a gym centre. The wall of the second floor will be the glasses one to give a larger space
feel by the people.

Proposed materials used for the project:
We proposed two different type of building materials for this project and are up to client’s choice.
a) Steel and prefabrication
Steel building is a metal structure fabricated with steel for the internal support and for exterior cladding, as
opposed to steel framed buildings which generally use other materials for floors, walls, and external
envelope. Whereas in prefabricated construction, only the foundations are constructed on the site, while
sections of walls, floors and roof are prefabricated (assembled) in a factory (possibly with window and door
frames included), transported to the site, lifted into place by a crane and bolted together.
Our first proposal of the structure of the roof and the wall of the food court will be this steel and
prefabrication.
Compare to the other building materials, steel provides several advantages such as:
Steel is a "green" product; it is structurally sound and manufactured to strict specifications and
tolerances. It is also energy efficient. Any excess material is 100% recyclable.
Steel does not warp, buckle, twist or bend, and is therefore easy to modify and offers design
flexibility. Steel is also easy to install.
Steel is cost effective and rarely fluctuates in price.
Steel allows for improved quality of construction and less maintenance, while offering improved
safety and resistance.
With the propagation of mold and mildew in residential buildings, using steel minimizes these
infestations. Mold needs moist, porous material to grow. Steel studs do not have those problems.
Reducing the amount of emissions in the concrete manufacturing process.
b) Reinforcement concrete
Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which concrete's relatively low tensile
strength and ductility are counteracted by the inclusion of reinforcement having higher tensile strength and
ductility.
The second choices will be this reinforcement concrete. Below are the advantages and
disadvantages using reinforced concrete:

Advantages
Require very low maintenance
Able to mould to any shape required.
It is very durable and fire resistant
Disadvantages
Failure in concrete structures can occur during construction, pulling down the progression of
construction.
Expensive
Bad Ventilation
Ventilation of the proposed food court:
To build a food court, we understand that good air ventilation is necessary to comfort the people who have
their meals here. There is several way of air-ventilation in the food court which includes,
- Building a window near to the roof to create cross ventilation.
Fresh concrete being poured into a framework
containing steel rebar

- The main entrances and exits of the food court is not sealed and is totally open spaced (wall
removed) to ensure better air ventilation.
- Install industrial mist fan around the food court.
- Install exhausted fan on every hawker stall to suck out the smoke, fumes and oil from the cooking.
- There are several exits on the food court to improve the air flow in the food court
- Removes area of floors on the top around the dining space.
- The proposed food court will be an open-aired one. The rooftop of the food court can opened and
closed when necessary.
Industrial Mist Fan
Exhausted Fan
The concept of open air food makes it a desirable place for dining. But due to the climate in Malaysia, open
air food court is not likely to be built. The open air food court might keep the visitors unprotected from rain
and the frequency of the rainfall will even cause the food court unable to operate smoothly while
interrupting the visitors from enjoying their meal. During the daytime, the sunlight and the temperature will
also cause the visitor to feel uneasy when they are dining. The combination of these factors will be the big
flaws of open air food court. Therefore, a retraceable roof is introduced into the open air food court in order
to minimize the weakness of it. The retractable roof will be able protect the visitor from unnecessary
exposure to sunlight and rainwater. The retraceable roof will keep open when the weather is ideal to offer
the visitor the advantage of open air food court while keeping close when the weather is extreme.

Green feature on the proposed food court:
To show a consideration in taking care of the nature, we also suggest the following:
- No air-conditioner will be used for the food court as using air-conditioner will release
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) which causes the thinning of the ozone layer. We are confident that the air
ventilation work we proposed is enough to keep the food court cool and comfortable to the people
in there.
- Shrubs and trees are used to landscape the car park as well surrounding the food court. This
landscape will give a pleasant eye view to the people, separate the noise and smell between the
food court and the residential area around, as well as to act as a filter to clean the smoke and fumes
of cooking from the food court.
- We also suggest building a small garden on the rooftop of the food court which is open to the public.
By doing this, it can become another main attraction for the people to came and at the same time
fully utilizes the target land.

Justification and Comparison between Proposal
Similarities
Proposed commercial area
Embedded green feature in it
Able to generate income
Enhance the value of the site
Bring convenience to the residents
Differences
Proposal 1 (Café) Proposal 2 (Food Court)
Cleaner and tidy environment Get dirty over time
Quiet and peaceful environment Noisy and heaving
Number of people is greatly limited, hence
not crowded
Can host up to 500 people, hence the place
will be very crowded
Increase aesthetics value of the area with
its luxury look
Big and bulky design of food court
Comparatively smaller building Comparatively bigger building
Have more spaces for parking lot The food court occupied more spaces,
hence not enough parking lot.
Rationale
We choose to initiate our site as a café based on several justifications and reasons,
such as:
To minimize the disturbance to the residents when the commercial area operates.
Avoid any possibilities that can cause traffic congestion on the area.
Prefer a normal sized crowd in the area.
Elegant and high-class view of the café.
