I am the LMS at Career Education Center Middle College of Denver High =
School and a member of the Construction Advisory Committee. We are =
planning a medium-sized addition on the building which includes a whole =
new LMC. If you aren't familiar with middle college, it is an organized =
effort to get large percentage of juniors and seniors started on the =
path toward college. By H.S. graduation students can be half way =
through an associates degree. =20
The next six to eight weeks will determine a great deal of how the new =
library will look and function. The new LMC addition needs to be both a =
link to the community college (Community College of Denver) two miles =
away as well as a link to the curricular needs of the 24 career classes =
and seven academic programs currently offered in the building. I would =
appreciate hearing from anyone running a middle college or =
career-centered LMC. Please offer some guidance on the following =
topics:
1.) What are some things you might do differently if you could redesign =
your present library?
2.) How do you connect the college campus library to the goings on in =
the high school library? we still have ninth and tenth graders who are =
attending regular classes.
3.) What unique challenges did you find as you transitioned from a =
conventional high school makeup to the middle college model?=20
4.) What are some common technology requests from the career programs =
in your school?
5.) How did you layout the computers in the LMC? Are the units =
clustered in small groups or set up as a more conventional lab?
6.) Are there increased requests for quiet study space or group project =
space such as conference rooms?
7.) Other caveats? =20
Thanks! You don't often get an opportunity to help design a library. I =
want to do it right. =20
