How to read this sheet

A-102 is the Level 2 floor plan, and the first thing to notice is that it is laid out exactly like A-101. Same grid, same origin on the paper, same dimension offsets, same scale of 1/8" = 1'-0". That is deliberate and it is how a set is meant to work. Grid line C is in the same place on both sheets, so you can flip between the two and see what is above what without measuring anything.

Read the plan the way you read Level 1. Outside the grid bubbles are three dimension strings: the overall 80'-0" and 40'-0", the grid spacing at 20'-0" a bay, and inside those a string that locates the partitions off grid A and grid 1. The locating string still adds up to the overall, and that addition is the check the drawing gives you.

Level 2 is a different plan of rooms in the same box. The north band is one large Reading Room, then Adult Stacks, then two study rooms. The corridor is still 6'-0" clear and the dimension marked CLR says so across it, not along it. The south band carries the stair, the elevator, two toilets, a janitor's room, a quiet room and a staff office. Every room tag on this sheet is a 200 series number, and every door tag is that room number plus a letter, which is how you know at a glance which level a tag came from.

The part of this sheet that is not on A-101 is the vertical circulation. The stair is drawn cut by a break line at the Level 2 floor. Above the break is the flight you walk down, and it carries a DN arrow. Below the break the floor is open, so what you are looking at is the flight arriving from Level 1, drawn lightly with an UP arrow that belongs to the level underneath. A screened area marks the floor opening itself. This is the single most misread piece of a multi storey plan: an arrow on a stair always describes travel away from the level you are standing on.

The elevator shows the car in the hoistway with a crossed rectangle and two hoistway doors drawn as sliding leaves rather than swings. The section marks are the same two cuts as on A-101, both to A-301, and the wall section callouts point at 3/A-401 and 4/A-401.
