  OAK PARK PUBLIC LIBRARY,
Oak Park, Illinois

Planning and design for the landscape and public plaza for the new main library located on Lake Street and Grove Avenue. The new plaza, created out of the vacated Grove Avenue, serves as the main entrance to the library, as the pedestrian-oriented transition between the adjacent Scoville Park and the new facility, and will also serve special events for the park. A green roof on the main facility enhances the environmental qualities of the building and all existing large trees on the project site are being saved and protected during construction. Services included design, construction documents through construction observation. Construction completed fall 2003. With Nagle Hartray Danker Kagan McKay for the Library District of Oak Park.
