The Spangdahlem Base Library is undergoing a Modern Bookstore Layout (MBL) remodel, an Air Force Services Center initiative to enhance the patron experience. This design-build project requires new library furnishings, including shelving, a circulation desk, computer lab updates, children's, juvenile, young adult, and adult areas, makerspace, seating, study rooms, signage, storage, and staff work areas. The project emphasizes a cohesive design, specific shelving heights (60" free-standing, 72" wall-leaning), and ample directional and display signage. The contractor is responsible for design, acquisition, delivery, assembly, and installation, ensuring minimal disruption and adherence to industry standards. Installation should not exceed 10 business days and requires prior submission of installer details for base access. Existing furniture will be incorporated into the design, and all new furnishings must be sturdy, library-grade, and suitable for high-traffic use.

Special attention is given to furnishing teen areas, children's areas with child-scaled items, "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) seating, flexible programming spaces, and reconfigurable maker spaces with integrated power.
