The Library completed the writing of the 42-page design brief for the expansion of the LWNES Library. Around 300 LWN Library student users took part in an online survey conducted in August 06 to give their feedback and suggestions for the new LWNES Library. The survey findings were taken into consideration during the writing of the design brief.

The purpose of the design brief is to provide a broad concept plan and guide for the architect. The concept plan describes the main zones in the LWNES Library and specifies the activities, equipment and furniture within each zone. The diagram below shows a schematic layout plan that the Library has included in its design brief.
