WIFor this #ThrowbackThursday, we’re highlighting the "surgical" renovation of the Central Library—the final masterpiece of architect Marcel Breuer.
The challenge was bringing natural light into a 200,000 SF concrete fortress. Our team at WJG transformed the structure by carving out a massive eight-story atrium and adding custom fenestrations without losing the building's signature 1980s soul.
Beyond the aesthetics, the Winter Johnson team streamlined the project with a single relocation plan for the library’s collection and fully modernized the MEP systems. The result? A vibrant community hub featuring a new entry plaza, stadium seating, and LEED Gold Certification. A proud milestone for the Winter Johnson Group and a lasting win for the city.
