The setting for this case study is the Dolph Briscoe, Jr. Library, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, a health sciences campus with medical, dental, nursing, health professions, and graduate schools. During 2008-2009, major renovations to the library building were completed including office space for a faculty development department, multipurpose classrooms, a 24/7 study area, study rooms, library staff office space, and an information commons. The impetus for changes to the library building was the decreasing need to house collections in an increasingly electronic environment, the need for office space for other departments, and growth of the student body. About 40% of the library building was remodeled or repurposed, with a loss of approximately 25% of the library's original space. Campus administration proposed changes to the library building, and librarians worked with administration, architects, and construction managers to seek renovation solutions that meshed with the library's educational mission.
本案例研究的背景是德保罗·布里斯考图书馆，德克萨斯大学健康科学中心圣安东尼奥分校，这是一个拥有医学、牙科、护理、健康专业和研究生院的健康科学校区。在 2008-2009 年期间，图书馆大楼进行了重大翻新，包括为教师发展部门、多功能教室、24/7 学习区、自习室、图书馆工作人员办公室和信息共享空间提供办公空间。图书馆大楼进行改造的动力是，在日益电子化的环境中，对馆藏的需求减少，其他部门需要办公空间，以及学生人数的增加。大约 40%的图书馆建筑进行了改造或重新规划，图书馆原有空间减少了约 25%。校园管理部门提出了对图书馆建筑的改造方案，图书馆员与管理部门、建筑师和施工经理合作，寻求与图书馆教育使命相契合的改造解决方案。
