1) What do you feel is the best physical feature of the room? An arrangement
of tables to shelves? equipment? a specific piece of furniture?

--The best feature is that there is plenty of room for researchers. It takes
the whole south side of a city block size building (roughly 60 by 150 feet)
with 10 tables for the patrons to work on. Shelving is abundant all around
the periphery of the room.

2) What would you change about your existing room?

--Take out the walls that divide the room into areas. We inherited several
other department's spaces, and as a historic building could not alter the
appearance of them save to make entrances into them. So there are plenty of
blind spots.
