Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris (France). – 1976
This publication discusses the need to design school buildings that are both flexible (i.e., responsive to frequent slight changes in use) and adaptable (i.e., responsive to infrequent major changes in use) and examines three actual school buildings that illustrate different approaches to achieving building flexibility and/or adaptability. Part 1…

Freeman, Michael S. – College and Research Libraries, 1982
This study examining storage space, seating space, and building modification of 36 college library buildings constructed in 1967 and 1968 reveals that space for materials is a major concern. Repossession of space used for nonlibrary functions and conversion of seating areas are suggested as solutions. Three references are cited. (EJS)
