Content Type: Spaces

We use the Space content type to represent any physical space in our various buildings. Broadly, we aim to have one space node (page) per room.

Examples:

How do I create a space node?

Contact the Web Team about creating a new space node.

If you have the "Devices & Spaces" role in Drupal, you'll be able to edit space nodes.

The editing interface for the space node will guide you through where to put this information.

Photo of the space (ask LibComms for this)
- At minimum: one wide-angle photo of the empty space, showing seating type and relevant technologies
- Happy patron(s) using the space
- Any alternative furniture configurations
Location info
- Building (and wing, if it's at Hill)
- Floor
- Room number
Directions (Sarah Hawks usually writes these)
- How to get to the space from the library building's entrance(s). Use bullet points for each step, and for multi-level libraries, write up:
  - One set of directions for stairs use
  - One set of directions for elevator use
Description
- At least one sentence about the purpose of the space
- Any guidelines or requirements for usage, e.g., an orientation
Any access restrictions
- E.g., faculty must swipe their Wolfpack One card
URL for requesting, if relevant
- Room Res or special request form

What's inside: number of seats, furniture types
- Environmental information: typical noise level, lighting features, sound masking
- Technology information: populated by assigning the space on the device node
Room specs & details: room size, any special features
High-tech spaces info: furniture configuration diagrams, templates for screens (often .pptx files)
Contact info: name and email or phone number for someone who can answer questions about usage or reservations

If the space is tagged in any of these other content nodes, it will appear in the right sidebar:
