Expectations for the Space

Understanding the client (owner) expectations for space is a major part of a successful project. Items that need to be identified early include:

What is the main function of the room?

What type of chair is desired?

Chairs with polymer components for durability? Historic look? Contemporary look? Custom?
Does it fit with the design concept of the building and seating space?

What accessories are needed to meet the patron needs?

Tablet arms, cupholders, rockers, power/data?
Clear passage constraints frequently make it impossible to add some accessories at a later date, so it's important to identify them early

What kind of layout does customer desire?
