First_Floor_-_Floor_Plan.jpg

This is a floor plan image for the Urbana Free Library (TUFL), an Illinois public library located at the intersection of Race and Green Streets in Urbana. The image depicts the first-floor layout of the approximately 50,000 square-foot building, which was originally constructed in 1918 and subsequently expanded in 1975 and 2005. The floor plan illustrates the newly renovated first-floor public space and staff workroom areas completed in late 2025, with the staff workroom identified as the designated location for the proposed Automated Material Handling (AMH) system implementation.

The floor plan provides the spatial context for TUFL's planned AMH system project, which seeks to enhance operational efficiency for a library serving over 38,000 residents with approximately 70 staff members and a collection exceeding 386,000 physical and digital items. The library circulated over half a million physical items during FY25, establishing the operational volume that the AMH system must accommodate. The floor plan is essential for qualified vendors to understand the physical constraints, spatial dimensions, and layout of the staff workroom where the AMH solution will be installed to automatically sort patron returns into totes or bins and facilitate faster reshelving operations.
