May 2011<strong>Vision</strong> <strong>Statement</strong><strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> <strong>Science</strong> LibraryShepley Bulfinch


Preface21st Century <strong>Science</strong> Commons and LibraryThe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> is in the initial planning stages for a new <strong>Science</strong> Commons and Library. Informationtechnology has drastically changed the services and configuration <strong>of</strong> all libraries, but this is particularlytrue in the sciences. Up until the early 1990s, the curriculum and information infrastructure needed tosupport the scientific disciplines remained relatively stable. Now, in 2011, the world faces a new array<strong>of</strong> scientific problems and challenges that are significantly different than those which existed previously.Today’s scientific problems are very much interdisciplinary, requiring extensive use <strong>of</strong> advanced computingcapabilities, access to the most detailed and current data, and facilities that encourage and supportcollaboration with teams <strong>of</strong> researchers on campus and throughout the global scholarly community.Although the library’s current location on campus is desirable, the facility has many physical challengesthat limit our ability to respond to changing teaching, learning, and research needs. Initially built in the1960s, the library was modestly expanded in the early 1990s. Despite its limitations, the <strong>Science</strong> Libraryremains a magnet for students, and in the past few years it has seen double-digit growth in use. Part <strong>of</strong>this is due to higher enrollments and increases in the number <strong>of</strong> science majors in disciplines such asHuman Physiology. Part is also due to the general rise in library use as students take advantage <strong>of</strong> thecollections, technology, expertise, and an environment that supports these intellectual pursuits.As the university continues its substantial strategic investment in the physical and life science, weneed a library that supports this direction. A new <strong>Science</strong> Commons and Library is part <strong>of</strong> the renewedinfrastructure necessary to support advanced research and problem solving in a variety <strong>of</strong> scientificdisciplines. The facility should be designed to promote collaboration, experimentation, and investigation.It will further help to strengthen our tradition <strong>of</strong> interdisciplinary research by drawing students and facultyfrom across the scientific disciplines, centers, and institutes to a common space that includes the mostsophisticated information technology and the rich collections that constitute the foundation for learningand new research. Emphasis will be placed on expanded access to digital content, as well as servicesrelated to informatics and the curation <strong>of</strong> data. New services could include visualization laboratories andother learning and research spaced designed to collect, analyze and display data.The attached vision statement represents a collaborative effort with Shepley Bulfinch. The firm workedwith the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> during the expansion and renovation <strong>of</strong> Knight Library in the 1990’s, and hasa long and stellar reputation within the library community. The vision statement is the first step in thedesign and construction process. It will be used as a communication tool with campus stakeholders anddonors who are committed to the advancement <strong>of</strong> scientific learning and discovery.Deborah CarverPhilip H. Knight Dean <strong>of</strong> Libraries<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong>


Creating a New Library for the <strong>Science</strong>sSupporting <strong>Science</strong> Research and LearningExcellence in science research and education at the<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> (UO) is central to the academic plan<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> and its role as the “flagship” institution inthe <strong>Oregon</strong> <strong>University</strong> System. Environments that supportsignature and foundational science programs, and graduateand undergraduate research, are vital to the continuedrecognition <strong>of</strong> UO as one <strong>of</strong> the nation’s premier publicuniversities. A robust library that inspires research andfosters deep learning is essential to science education, andprovides a competitive edge in attracting top students andfaculty.A New Paradigm for the <strong>Science</strong> LibraryCreating a holistic framework <strong>of</strong> support for faculty andstudent endeavors is intrinsic to the role <strong>of</strong> today’s sciencelibraries. Information resources for science research andlearning are now primarily digital in format and ubiquitouslyaccessible once they are licensed for campus. Evolvingmodes <strong>of</strong> teaching, learning and research are placing newdemands on science libraries through the• increasing demand for richly supported informal learningenvironments• growing role <strong>of</strong> interactive computational tools andinterfaces• increasing complexity <strong>of</strong> the information environmentand the need for expertise to navigate that environment• expanding place <strong>of</strong> interdisciplinary scholarship in thescience curriculumIn this new educational paradigm, the science library plays avital role in curating virtual as well as physical information,teaching information research skills and assisting thescience community with information discernment. No longermerely a repository for print information, today’s library forthe sciences is a vibrant facility that inspires explorationand discovery, and enhances visibility <strong>of</strong> the sciencesto the <strong>University</strong> and to the public. Varied environmentsthat are flexible and technologically robust, support study,collaboration and instruction and serve as an academicintegrator within the science community and university-wide.Today’s science library is a dynamic learning laboratoryproviding opportunities for hands-on inspiration and a wealth<strong>of</strong> resources, tools and expertise.top to bottom<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the contest sites for the ACMInternational Collegiate Programming ContestDr. Madonna Moss’ Zooarchaeology Lab which houses several ongoingprojects and a comparative faunal collection1Shepley Bulfinch I May 2011

Recognizing Current Space LimitationsThe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong>’s (UO) current science library facilityis located on the lowest level <strong>of</strong> Klamath Hall and occupies27,400 gross sq. ft. The Library houses physical collections,study seating, and instructional and <strong>of</strong>fice space. The libraryis accessed through the ground level <strong>of</strong> the Onyx Bridge andlocated primarily in Klamath Hall (constructed in 1967).With the construction <strong>of</strong> Cascade Hall in 1989, the librarywas expanded to accommodate changing staff needs andgrowing physical collections. A sunken courtyard brings somedaylight into the lower level spaces, however natural light islacking in most areas. Due primarily to lack <strong>of</strong> funding forlarge scale library renovations, large portions <strong>of</strong> the library’sspaces remain as planned and equipped almost 45 yearsago.The library’s low-use print collections occupy over 50% <strong>of</strong> theavailable space, limiting the amount <strong>of</strong> seating available toaccommodate study, research and learning activities. Thepredominance <strong>of</strong> the print collections contributes to afirst impression <strong>of</strong> a library facility that is not in-step withcurrent science research practices. Enclosed space forstudents to work together is lacking, though collaborativeprojects are a primary component <strong>of</strong> UO’s science andresearch curriculum. Staff work spaces are remote fromareas <strong>of</strong> public interface and the primary service desk isrepresentative <strong>of</strong> an outmoded service model. In general,staff areas reflect a primary function to support theprocessing and distribution <strong>of</strong> print materials rather thanthe array <strong>of</strong> interactive consultation based services currentlyprovided by the library’s science information specialists.Although the library has the potential to be an intellectualhub providing places for interdisciplinary connection andspecialized instruction, meeting and teaching spaces inthe current library are undersized and common spacessupporting informal learning are non-existent.Recent, modest improvements to the interior <strong>of</strong> the Library,such as the expansion and improvement <strong>of</strong> seating areasand the creation <strong>of</strong> the anatomy room, have led to a dramaticincrease in gate-counts in the science library, demonstratingthe importance <strong>of</strong> the library as a central place for study andlearning within the science community.clockwise from top leftUO <strong>Science</strong> Libary:entrycarrel seating adjacent to the courtyard3Shepley Bulfinch I May 2011

Remaking the UO <strong>Science</strong> LibraryIn 2011, the opportunity exists to dramatically transformthe library’s physical space, leapfrogging over programand design trends <strong>of</strong> the past 45 years to implement acompelling, forward looking plan to remake the UO <strong>Science</strong>Library.Substantially rethinking existing library programs and spaceswill create a revitalized library that will carry the <strong>University</strong>forward and set the stage for a future possible expansion.Immediate incremental renovations will emphasizeprograms that create new capabilities for the science libraryin support <strong>of</strong> collaborative learning, interdisciplinary work,and integrative programs, re-invigorating the science libraryas a new, dynamic hub for science community interaction.manipulation and visualization, whose success depends onboth library and technology expertise.The central location <strong>of</strong> the existing library is valuable andsupports the opportunity for greater integration with thescience community. When the <strong>University</strong> eventually replacesOnyx Bridge with a new facility, the library could be expandedfrom its current location to new, more visible and easilyaccessible space.Priority space needs to deliver the transformed sciencelibrary are:• A central community space to facilitate interaction andconnection• Collaborative study space to support evolving modes<strong>of</strong> teaching• Visible and expanded services to promote explorationand discovery• Flexible spaces that facilitate testing andexperimentation• Increased natural lightExpanded and improved library space will provide visibility forlibrary services and enhance support for research and studywithin the science community. In order to deliver the range<strong>of</strong> services expected from today’s science library, physicalspace should be reallocated to provide approximately halfas much area for print collections and twice as much forpatron areas dedicated to study, research, learning, andcollaboration.Renovations to create more contiguous space linking the<strong>Science</strong> Library and the Klamath academic computing labswill facilitate more robust services that leverage sharedexpertise <strong>of</strong> library and information technologies. Servicescould include digital production to facilitate knowledgecreation and collaborative endeavors such as datatop to bottomUO <strong>Science</strong> Library:new reference / help deskimproved open seating5Shepley Bulfinch I May 2011

Themes for the New <strong>Science</strong> LibraryThrough dialogue with science faculty, students, and libraryand academic computing staff, themes to guide a sciencelibrary transformation have emerged:Create CommunityFoster InteractionEnhance VisibilityInspire ResearchPreserve InformationPromote AccessInherent in these themes are a series <strong>of</strong> program and spacegoals that will shape the new library:Outreach / Interaction /CommunityGoal: Create a library that is central to the sciencecommunity and integrated (both virtually and physically)with the community as a whole. Provide spaces for sharingand presentation that are interactive and activity-based toengage both science and non-science students and faculty.To support this goal, library space should be porous, withmultiple entrances, including a welcoming, visible entrancefor visitors and the public, and interconnected with otherscience building functions. Space needs include:• Gathering / event space that is central, flexible andinformal to support lectures, events and presentationssimilar to “<strong>Science</strong> Pub”, allowing for a variety set-upsand equipped with excellent audio-visual systems tosupport events• Exhibit / display space providing multiple opportunitiesto feature research content, including digitalpresentations, “poster session” displays, and supportfor testing, demonstrations and experiments• A café or c<strong>of</strong>fee area located for easy access by both thescience community and the larger <strong>University</strong> community• Flexible meeting spaces that can be reserved forfaculty functions and collaborative work, with videoconferencing and display capabilitiesSupporting <strong>Science</strong> Study and Researchtop to bottomBroad Institute, Cambridge, MA: real time research data displayAtlanta <strong>University</strong> Center R.Woodruff Library: flexible event/community spaceGeorgetown <strong>University</strong> International Law Center: cafe7Shepley Bulfinch I May 2011


Goal: Create a variety <strong>of</strong> study and research environmentsthat allow for engagement, interaction, collaboration, andquiet study. As a minimum, the current seat count (currentlyapproximately 198 non classroom seats) should be doubledto meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the science community. Space needsinclude:• Collaborative work rooms for 2-10:• Group work rooms with white boards and power (lowlevel mediation)• Group work rooms equipped with projection andvideo record/playback capabilities for presentationpractice, media viewing and peer tutoring (higherlevel <strong>of</strong> mediation)• Project rooms for longer term assignments toaccommodate faculty or student research usinglibrary resources, expertise or technology (withvisible controls)• Booths• Small group study rooms• Quiet seating areas:• “Destination” space / reading room to see and beseen, but quiet• Enclosed / semi-enclosed spaces for individualwork spread throughout the Library• Active seating areas with interactive technologiesdesigned to promote informal learning/ interaction andcollaboration with library staff and faculty peers• Large, high resolution interactive touch screens forgroup- data viewing and manipulation• Flexible areas to showcase discipline specificinformation content and create community• Collections / 3D models / materials on reserve /specialty s<strong>of</strong>twareServices, Instruction and Content Visualizationtop to bottomDuke <strong>University</strong> Link: flexible collaborative space with writing surfacesColumbia <strong>University</strong> <strong>Science</strong> and Engineering Library: individual research carrelsArizona State <strong>University</strong>: decision theatre<strong>Vision</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> I <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> Library for the <strong>Science</strong>s 8


Goal: Provide instructional spaces that support knowledgecreation, foster the interaction <strong>of</strong> library staff, students, andfaculty, and promote science literacy.Inclusion <strong>of</strong> these spaces within the library will provide forlibrary mediated support with scheduling, technology andset-up. By creating a porous boundary between classrooms,labs and the library, the library can become the “breakoutspace which allows learning conversations to startbefore class and continue after. Services should create an“Integrated <strong>Science</strong> Learning Center” that includes:• Flexible teaching spaces with reconfigurable furnitureincorporating or adjacent to break-out space for groupwork for ease <strong>of</strong> transition from classroom to individualtutoring/advising:• Robust audio-visual/ Technology infrastructure:smartboards/ touchscreens/ large screens forcollaborative work• Video conferencing capabilities that allow for use <strong>of</strong>science equipment (i.e. lab table, power)• Large, very high resolution display screens for dataprojection• Extensive services for writing/ projection• Library-mediated access, set up and help with use<strong>of</strong> technology• Library Service Portal: reference/ reserves/ circulation/ILL/ Equipment Loan/ “take-home” labs• Digital Resources and Media Creation Lab for:• Video editing, analysis and group viewing• Large format printing: posters• “Sandbox” for new s<strong>of</strong>tware• Access to Proprietary s<strong>of</strong>tware• Visualization/ immersion lab that is a flexible—“blackbox” that can be updated as technology evolves andsupport visualization <strong>of</strong> data/ GIS• Tutoring and group study space to services that supporthigh-level technology such as MATLABtop to bottom<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin: visualization labMcGill <strong>University</strong>: scale-up classroomsDuke <strong>University</strong> Link: group study with a variety <strong>of</strong> writing surfaces9Shepley Bulfinch I May 2011


Information ResourcesGoal: Facilitate access to information in all formats byacquiring/leasing pertinent material, preserving andmanaging research data, providing support for ease <strong>of</strong>access to available resources, and engaging in activeoutreach to the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> community and beyond.• Develop a collection plan to reduce print collectionsspace by 50% through de-accessioning duplicate orobsolete materials, providing <strong>of</strong>f-site storage andtransitioning to electronic formats• Invest in robust electronic collections and access to onlinedatabases, journals and other resources• Enhance support in archiving and curation <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong>produced data and research• Enhance support <strong>of</strong> non-print “specimen” collectionsfor the physical sciencescounterclockwise from topBrown <strong>University</strong>, the Library Collection Annex: remote high-density storage facilityAtlanta <strong>University</strong> Center R.Woodruff Library: compact shelvingXavier <strong>University</strong><strong>Vision</strong> <strong>Statement</strong> I <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oregon</strong> Library for the <strong>Science</strong>s 10
