emersion DESIGN partnered with the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library to transform the historic 1910 Hyde Park Branch into a modern, accessible community space. Improvements included enhanced ADA access through regraded entrances and new interior furniture and finishes, along with new restrooms, elevator, and vestibules. Five original windows, infilled during the 1970 renovation, were restored to bring in much needed natural light. The project also preserved a beloved Michael Scott mural and added a custom aquarium in the children’s section honoring the former lower‑level fish pond.
