Design Concept and Interior Features

Econs approached the library project with a clear focus on creating an open, comfortable, and eco-friendly environment.

The space is organized with a spacious layout, incorporating tall bookshelves and flexible seating arrangements to accommodate different learning needs. Dedicated zones for reading, studying, and group discussions are strategically placed to maximize functionality.

Eco-friendly and Safe Materials

A notable highlight of the Library interior is the use of environmentally friendly materials. Furniture is selected based on safety standards and sustainability, contributing to a healthy educational environment.

The modern furniture is designed to be both ergonomic and mobile, allowing the space to be easily reconfigured for various activities such as workshops, presentations, or quiet study sessions.

Functional Zones

Apart from reading and study areas, the School Library includes:

• A reception and information area for student support

• Spaces for academic exchange events and workshops

• A diverse collection of printed and digital resources, including books, magazines, and online databases

This well-thought-out design encourages students to engage in self-directed learning while fostering collaboration and creativity. These features enable students to access a wide range of academic resources and develop their research and technological skills.

The library at TAS not only serves as a place to read and study but also acts as a dynamic hub for student activities, interaction, and creative exploration. This flexible learning space reflects the school’s commitment to fostering creativity, collaboration, and lifelong learning among students.

Timely Execution and Quality Assurance by Econs

The success of the Library project is not only reflected in its design but also in the execution process managed by Econs. Despite the challenges of constructing a modern library within an operational school, Econs completed the project on schedule.

Key factors contributing to the project’s success include:

• Timeline Management
• Quality Management
• Cost Management
• Conversations
• Resource Management

Conclusion

The TAS – High School Library designed and built by Econs represents a modern, student-centered learning environment that supports education in the digital age.
