    Area of Science:

    • Health Sciences Information Management
    • Library Science
    • Healthcare Facility Planning

    Background:

    • Establishing a functional library is crucial for supporting healthcare education and research.
    • A well-defined building program is essential for designing effective hospital libraries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a comprehensive building program for a new 400-bed hospital library.
    • To ensure the library design meets the specific needs of the hospital community.

    Main Methods:

    • Formulating a detailed list of questions to identify library requirements.
    • Conducting site visits to comparable libraries in similar healthcare institutions.
    • Developing a structured program planning guide for the library.

    Main Results:

    • A systematic approach was used to define the scope and requirements of the hospital library.
    • The process facilitated a clear understanding of the necessary resources and spatial needs.
    • The resulting building program serves as a blueprint for library construction.

    Conclusions:

    • A needs-based approach, incorporating external benchmarking and structured planning, is effective for developing hospital library building programs.
    • This methodology ensures the creation of a library that is both functional and aligned with institutional goals.
