Green Springs Branch Library
Birchard Public Library of Sandusky County
Location:
Green Springs, Ohio
Size:
3,000 s.f.
Construction Cost:
$500,000
Scope:
New Building
Description:
This new library replaced a 19th
century church that anchored the main entrance to town. The church had a
strong architectural presence that was special to the community, but was
failing structurally. We positioned an octagonal reading room form on the
corner and flanked each side with matching strong gable forms. The new
entry piece is reminiscent of the church’s entry. This solution received
overwhelming support in the community.
