scope: 

The Waukegan Library, built in the mid-1960s, was renovated by product architecture + design to meet the programmatic demands of a 21st century library space while maintaining a strict budget.  The collection was consolidated and placed on new shelving, allowing new spaces to be created. A 100 person training lab and 6 group study rooms with unique environments were added while not sacrificing the open plan of the library.  Additional collaborative spaces, new computer stations, lounge seating, and a gallery space were also added.
