A Circulation Desk Made to Spec

How UC Merced Designed a Service Desk Around Library Staff Workflow

The circulation desk is the first thing patrons see and the hub where library staff spend their day. For the University of California, Merced, AGATI designed a fully custom circulation desk built around the library’s specific workflow and footprint. A solid surface top stands up to constant transactions, while a transaction counter is set at the right height for both seated staff and approaching patrons. The desk was made to order rather than pulled from a catalog. Every dimension, finish, and detail was matched to the needs of the UC Merced team. AGATI builds these solutions collaboratively, partnering with designers and library staff from concept through install. That is one of the ways Agati ensures that custom furniture is made to specification.

Shelving and Display for Collections That Keep Changing

How Campus Libraries Configure and Expand Shelving and Displays Over Time

Every campus library organizes and showcases its collection differently. Shelving has to keep up with demands and the needs of the space as those needs evolve. AGATI offers a full range of shelving and display solutions, from the budget-conscious Primary Collection to architectural display pieces like Bricks + Blocks. Starter and adder units make it easy to configure and expand a space over time. Solid wood shelves with dovetail shelf clips add strength that holds up to years of use. For libraries that want something more distinctive, custom shelving opens up curved units, mobile shelving on casters, and integrated seating that doubles as storage and space division. Whether the goal is straightforward stacks or a signature centerpiece, AGATI builds shelving and display tailored to each campus and its community.

Circulation Desks, Fully Custom

University Library Circulation Desks Designed and Built to Your Floor Plan

Every library circulation desk is a different shape, because every library is. Agati designs and builds circulation desks as fully custom work, engineered for the footprint it will occupy and finished to match the architecture around it. A long desk can curve, wrap a column, or step to follow a floor plan, and its finish carries through to the shelving and tables nearby so the room reads as one piece of design. Staff spend entire shifts here, so the desk is built around the way they work. Agati can create service surfaces at working height, storage within reach, and room for the technology a busy service point runs on. Agati engineers and designers collaborate directly with your team from concept through install to ensure the needs of the project are met.
