GEN: move into remodeled space, possibly

[Edith Fuller <efuller@TELEPORT.COM>]

Since we are facing the possibility of a move into
remodeled space, possibly a suite of classrooms in an unused wing of a
school (from a better than OK space in teh central adminsitrative
building), what I would like to hear is

What are the pitfalls I should be looking for when talking to the district
architects about the remodeling?  work areas, sink (yes!),
cabinet and file storage, checkout desk, unobstructed view through
the entire room (I swear the architect thought he could put out 6,000+
square foot space into 6 separate classrooms WITHOUT tearing down any
walls--just move with the patrons from room to room, locking and unlocking
as you go--mind you, we've got 1 media specialist, .25 library assistant,
and 1.0 FTE clerk in 2 people).

What else?  I do so want to be on top of
the puzzle when he comes back, as I hope he will, to ask what our needs
will be in the remodeled classrooms.
