The new Mentor-on-the-Lake Library addition recently reopened to the public with a whole new look. Over the summer of 2020 the Lawler team built a new meeting room addition, expanded the main area of the library and created a brand new back-of-house area with expanded work space and a break area for staff. Within the public space new accessible restrooms were created for the ease and comfort of patrons. Parking for the facility more than doubled from the previous amount and a new bio-swale was added to severely limit storm water runoff from the site preventing additional load to the storm sewers. All of the HVAC equipment was replaced with new and the old gazebo was retained in the new layout. The new and old pair seamlessly together through HBM Architects' well-planned design. We are very excited to have had the opportunity to work with such a great group at the Library and trust that the new and improved facility will serve them well for years to come.
