Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh \u2013 Welcome station comprising a YAKETY YAK 103 Pod with Support Module.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh,<\/strong> a renovation by L+K Architects has seen a complete transformation of the community\u2019s Downtown Branch Library.<\/p>\n

Four YAKETY YAK Oval 103 Pods were teamed with YAKETY YAK Support Caddies to enhance customer service. Located not far from the entrance, YAKETY YAK 103 is utilised as a Welcome \/ Help Pod while the other three YAKETY YAK\u2019S and support modules provide designated customer service points throughout the library.<\/p>\n

YAKETY YAK\u2019s ability to adapt to the task provides the flexibility needed in the diverse library space, helping to support new opportunities for learning and sharing.<\/p>\n

With electronic height adjustability, librarians can choose to work either seated or standing, enhancing both their own work environment and the library experience for patrons.<\/p>\n

YAKETY YAK Work Modules were also deployed as dedicated, quick reference, public computer kiosks.<\/p>\n

At East Coast Bays Library,<\/strong> several YAKETY YAK pods were chosen to encourage a more open and free flowing model; a move away from the large traditional counter that created a barrier between customers and staff.<\/p>\n

The minimalist, height adjustable pods, encourage a friendly customer exchange, providing touch-points in tandem with the library\u2019s staff roving philosophy.<\/p>\n

The new pods are hard to miss with their tough, hard wearing solid vinyl \u2018Dark Grey\u2019 worktops and \u2018Marina\u2019 barrels standing out on the neutral carpet and complementing the warm timber ceiling above.<\/em><\/p>\n

At The LINC Library Innovation Centre,<\/strong> designed by Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS), our YAKETY YAK Oval 104 Pod was deployed in the large new space of the Confluence Lobby.<\/p>\n

YAKETY YAK Oval 104 Pod adapts as a welcome point \/ help desk and was the perfect choice for a stand-alone service desk as people navigate their way through the lobby to adjoining spaces, numerous activities and experiences.<\/p>\n

YAKETY YAK stands ready to greet, or at the touch of a button, lowers to seated height to confidently interact with people of all ages and levels of mobility.
\nThe barrel color compliments the surrounding decor, teamed with a clean white worktop.<\/p>\n

At Westgate Library and multi-purpose facility, Te Manawa<\/strong>, by architects Warren and Mahoney, the vision and design encourages all visitors to explore, play and learn \u2014 a concept that requires flexibility of furniture and the wider space.<\/p>\n

Aligning with this vision, YAKETY YAK 103 Oval Pods were chosen and deployed in key customer service areas; the heart of the library, a dedicated help point in the children\u2019s library, and a library concierge near the entrance.<\/p>\n

Pods were teamed with YAKETY YAK Support Modules and accessories, including our 100 Cash\/Work Module, 100 Support Caddy and ATDEC Monitor arms for the sharing of information.<\/p>\n

YAKETY YAK\u2019s ergonomic design provides a highly versatile workspace, with electric height adjustability at the forefront. The oval worktop optimises free movement and supports an open, friendly exchange.<\/p>\n

At Wentworth Library and Community Center,<\/strong> YAKETY YAK Oval 103 Pods in high impact, red livery, were chosen as customer service points throughout the library.<\/p>\n

Near the library entrance, two pods form a dynamic circulation area with plenty of space in between to allow staff to work independently with patrons.<\/p>\n

A second staff point welcomes patrons as they arrive on the upper level, providing immediate connection and assistance from the library\u2019s friendly, helpful staff.<\/p>\n
