The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Libraries system is consistently ranked among the top university libraries in North America and is one of the premier libraries in the South. Carolina's libraries are distributed across the campus. The system includes Davis Library, the central collection for humanities, social science, and business research; the Wilson Special Collections Library, home to rare and unique materials; R.B. House Undergraduate Library, dedicated to the learning needs of undergraduate students; the Health Sciences Library; and specialized subject libraries. The Libraries Space Master Plan (LSMP) will address the University Libraries and Facilities, Planning, and Design's (FPD) need for a comprehensive plan for how to meet this current moment of significant change and opportunity with the physical spaces and service delivery model for our campus. This will grow out of and be developed with strategic planning by the University Libraries, which is currently underway. The Libraries Space Master Plan will need to be developed into a useful tool before the end of the calendar year to help inform priorities for capital and other projects across the University Libraries. In completing this process, the University Libraries seeks to continue to make library spaces welcoming and to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging among users and staff; to improve and maintain library facilities; and to continue work towards alignment with campus master planning. This project scope includes comprehensive master planning and space utilization analyses for University Libraries. This includes developing and reviewing the space and service models for library materials, including developing enhanced off-site storage opportunities. Additionally, this effort will review and assess previous efforts at individual libraries and library spaces, facility condition assessment reports, current service delivery models and off-site storage, and other materials previously generated.
