Hurlburt Air Force Base
Okaloosa County, Florida
Hurlburt is a military library with a collection of approximately 24k titles including adult, YA, and juvenile books, audio collections, DVDs, and periodicals. There is a computer lab with 20 computers as well as 4-6 public access computers in the main library space. The librarian at Hurlburt Field AFB in Florida reached out to TLS about a renovation project that she was planning. They were looking to transition to a "Bookstore model" library using neighborhoods instead of Dewey and using a merchandising and display approach for their shelving and signage. The project would include new shelving, signage and furniture for their approximate 7000 sq ft space.
The librarian provided us with a penciled in layout to help clarify her vision for the new library. She needed tall Single-Faced shelving affixed to the walls for safety. The rest of the shelving needed to be Double-Faced for maximum storage, no higher than 60 inches in height for clear line of site, and Mobile so she could easily change the room layout if needed. She also needed the whole project to be delivered inside the library and Installed.
Tosha, our design team manager, worked closely with the librarian to determine the exact color scheme that would be inviting and functional for patrons of all ages. Tosha provided multiple finish samples and fabric swatches to view and touch so the librarian could narrow down her choices and ensure the finished project would be exactly what she was envisioning.
Once the project was approved, Tosha checked with the manufacturers regularly to ensure that the furniture was built and shipped on schedule. She organized several trucks from multiple manufacturers to meet the installation team at the library on the morning of the first install day. The installation team unpacked, inspected and sorted each piece. By the end of day 5, the installation team had every piece assembled and in place and Hurlburt's new library was complete!
Thank you Hurlburt Air Force Base for trusting us with your library renovation. It was a pleasure working with you and bringing your vision to life!
