Bacchus Marsh Library DevelopmentCommunity ConsultationSECTION 5 – Potential Ideas and OpportunitiesPotential Ideas and opportunitiesThrough the consultative process a number of common thoughts appeared as potentialdesign ideas and opportunities, they included:1. More connection between services. Co-location of Maternal & Child Health services toprovide opportunity to engage with young families to assist with the low rate of kinderparticipation and extend on the great community support for literacy for children.2. Explore what efficiencies could be achieved through sharing of resources. Forexample, the integration of council and library I.T. infrastructure to encourage a habitof unity and information sharing, and multi-skilling of staff.3. Include the use of art, music and colour to show the ‘modes’ of spaces. Do not uselabels on spaces; create more of a ‘feel’ for spaces within the building to encourage areal multi use facility.4. Locate formal spaces to the rear of the building and multi use space to the front tocreate a sense of excitement when entering the building; make the building ‘alive’.5. Incorporate spaces and programs that will attract people to the library. For example:• public art and exhibition space, for example, art boxes/platform boxes built in toin the walls, and community art.• recharge points for electric scooters,• a coffee shop with internet access• specialist activities such as Wii Fit, book clubs, music corner, communityeducation and expo’s, guest speakers, study clubs for VCE students• Talking books for the visually impaired• Space for a school class groups6. Create a wonderland for children that includes an ‘Ikea’ model of the discovery trail tosell a concept of literacy, a reading pit with cushions and performance space to caterfor activities such as story time and Imagination Magic.7. Ensure that the building has wireless capability and that the IT infrastructure hascapacity for future growth.8. Explore the benefits of a multi storey building, potentially with staff and storageupstairs using mezzanine in the design.9.
