Designing quality learning spaces

The Ministry of Education has just delivered to schools five documents outlining guidelines to be considered when designing quality learning spaces. The series is comprised of:
Designing Quality Learning Spaces: Introduction and Interior Design, Function & Aesthetics;
Designing Quality Learning Spaces: Ventilation & Indoor Air Quality;
Designing Quality Learning Spaces: Heating & Insulation;
Designing Quality Learning Spaces: Lighting;
Designing Quality Learning Spaces: Acoustics;
and is a joint publication between the MoE and BRANZ Ltd (Building Research Australia New Zealand). The documents are also available from the MoE's website as downloadable PDFs.
The books cover all areas of schools, so will be an essential resource if you are building or remodelling your library, or any other area.
Your task is to locate these resources and identify any references to the school library!
