The Morton Grove Public Library initially retained StudioGC to help them define an up-to-date vision for the future of their library. The project took an unexpected turn when, during our due-diligence evaluation of the facility, we discovered an unexpected structural issue that revealed that several existing roof trusses had failed and that the roof was literally in danger of collapse. We mobilized our team of architects and engineers and resolved the structural issue while modernizing the dated library interior, re-lighting the library and providing 21st-Century library amenities including small group meeting rooms and streamlined service points.
