Lakewood Construction Begins
Construction has begun on Licking County Library’s Lakewood branch in the Arrowhead Plaza in Hebron and is expected to be finished in early September. After a successful bidding process, LCL and the Board of Trustees recently secured a contract with T-built Construction Services.
The architects from Schooley Caldwell & Associates have been working to present LCL’s vision of the new Lakewood branch and its many amenities, such as a large multi-purpose room and enhanced collections. Aside from their work on branches for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, Schooley Caldwell & Associates most recently completed renovations at the Newark Arcade, making them a trusted partner to lead this project.
“We are eager to proceed with this project and are excited to introduce residents to this contemporary and vibrant space!” says Julia Walden, Executive Director of Licking County Library.
Updates on this project and the timeline for the merger of the Hebron and Buckeye Lake locations will be posted here when available. View the lookbook below for artist renderings on the potential look of the Lakewood branch.
The last day to visit the Hebron location is Saturday, September 27, from 10am-3pm.
Important Dates for Our Hebron location:
September 19: Hebron will no longer be an option for pick-up when placing new holds.
September 22: All unfilled holds with Hebron as the location pick-up will be suspended until Lakewood opens.
