If memory serves me, it is 35 sq. ft per student in art libraries, 25
sq. ft in other academic libraries. Seating for 20% to 25% of student
FTE is recommended. Figures are from Planning Academic and Library
Research Buildings. Philip D. Leighton. ALA, 1999. When I have a
chance I will check to verify and let you know.

Perhaps this will help:
Standards for Libraries in Higher Education (2004)

Books on library architecture could also be useful.
