The document summarizes renovation plans for the James E. Walker library at Middle Tennessee State University. The renovation will create a learning commons on the first floor and expand learning environments throughout the building. It will reuse existing furniture and materials where possible to be environmentally sustainable. Guiding principles of the renovation include being flexible to meet changing student needs, good stewards of resources, and maintaining a low carbon footprint. The renovation is funded by $400,000 in state stimulus funds and aims to be completed by Fall 2011.

- Save money in the future by not making things so rigid – i.e. signs, carrels
- We had to balance all this with a tight deadline and so some of the thing we wanted to do, we just couldn’t but where we could, we did.
- This saved money, shipping and over 1,200 per chair. In fact we were able to clean all the chairs
