Klau Library – Hebrew Union College
Cincinnati, OH
Project Description
This renovation and addition created new space to house the largest collection of Hebraic literature in the western hemisphere. Careful planning of construction sequences, relocation and re-installation of the special collection and deliveries were critical to the success of the project. Assessment of the building’s structure revealed the exterior skin wasn’t sound and didn’t meet thermal envelope expectations, resulting in a complete re-skinning of the building. Special HVAC systems and controls now protect the pre-1900 and rare collection.
