Abstract | This paper presents aspects of a space planning project assigned to Library and Information Studies postgraduate students and reflects on six themes that cropped up repeatedly in their design of a 24/7 postgraduate library space, namely: lighting, space and colour; tools and technology; defined zones; re-bootable spaces; furnishings; and respite. The projects are shown to present students' needs for a varied library space, but one that is primarily for work and study. Disappointingly, the projects did not reflect the needs of disadvantaged or differently-abled students, nor did they display a uniquely South African flavour. Despite the students being members of both the postgraduate user group and the LIS discipline, project omissions led the authors to conclude that, while this group had a lot of value to add, ultimately the library should cast its net as wide as possible when assessing user needs.
