OAK
HILL PUBLIC LIBRARY
Library New Construction
Client: Oak
Hill Public Library
Total Area: 10,000
S.F.
Total Cost: $1,016,900
The new Oak Hill
Public Library captures the small town history while providing the community
with modern facilities and technology.
The 10,000 s.f. building doubles the space of the existing library's
collection, supports state-of-the-art technology, and accommodates growing
community use. The design includes a genealogy room, spacious reading
room, and conference facility to be used by both staff and community
groups. A children's area is incorporated to provide space for summer
and afternoon programs. Staff offices, a workroom, and storage areas
complete the space.
The library is located in the heart of town and along the old rail line.
The design features a decorative mix of brick and block building materials,
shingled roof, and wood windows, providing an appearance that envelops
the style and detailing of the old train stations that were once common
in Southeast Ohio.
Great care was taken in detailing interior building aesthetics as well.
A ceramic tile entrance, high ceilings, and abundant natural lighting
creates an open and inviting setting. A skylight pours natural light
over the circulation desk and a window wall makes up the south end of
the reading room.
Comfortable lounge furniture faces the window wall, presenting a beautiful
view of the outdoor public area and onsite Veteran's Memorial Park.
The outdoor space makes an excellent location for leisure, gatherings,
and community events.
