Report:

At the request of the Executive committee, Space Planners Roundtable members discussed the status of SPRT at the annual conference meeting.  Members agreed that SPRT continues to offer a valuable resource and avenue for ARLIS/NA members.  It was also decided that it is important for the moderator (or co-moderators) of the roundtable to stimulate a discussion before the conference so that members can discover the variety of ongoing building projects and bring items of interest or concern to the meeting.  There was a lively and interesting group discussion at the meeting of library projects.  We were able to share each project and talk about space planning and design problems that members were having with their projects, their architects, builders etc.

The SPRT web site has been a valuable tool for the roundtable.  It was noted at the annual meeting that the web site was a good way to show case conference sessions that would be of interest to our members.  Members agreed that the web site could also be used to share projects and problems with others in similar circumstances and to develop a consultant’s list.  The co-moderators will do that this year through the association listserv.
