Breathtaking Renovations

Columbus (Ohio) Metropolitan Library, Main Library

The Main Library’s renovation included replacing the original marble exterior with walls of glass that allow natural light to fill the building and transforming a parking lot into an outdoor plaza. Inside, a new two-story reading room provides ample space for patrons to spread out and can serve as an area to host large events.
