Located on the Lake Erie shoreline, the revitalized ODNR Aquatic Visitor Center breathes new life into a historic 1907 fish hatchery. Once in critical disrepair due to decades of exposure and deferred maintenance, the building has been carefully restored and reimagined as an interactive environmental education center for visitors of all ages.

This adaptive reuse project preserved the structure’s historic character while addressing major structural and accessibility challenges—including stabilization of a visibly leaning tower, extensive masonry and envelope restoration, and the addition of a new, fully ADA-compliant entrance that improves site access and orientation.

Inside, the center features immersive exhibits highlighting the ecology of Lake Erie, hands-on learning opportunities, and restored historic elements like the original fish run tank. The project also integrates seasonal staff housing and community space, expanding the building’s role beyond tourism to support ODNR operations and educational programming.

A model of sustainable preservation, the Aquatic Visitor Center now serves as a vibrant public resource—honoring its legacy while inspiring future generations through environmental stewardship and design.

Birchard Public Library consists of a full renovation to the existing building as well as a 9,000 sf addition. The original Birchard Public Library was constructed in 1878 on the former site of Fort Stephenson, a former fort and battleground from the War of 1812. By the 1980’s, the collection size had significantly outgrown the building size, and the library was significantly expanded with 2 additional wings. In 2018, collection size had once again outgrown the capacity of the building and modern needs and programs of the library had evolved. Additionally, there was a shortage of parking and no real entrance sequence as the existing entrance was hidden in a corner of the building above a ramp to the garage. With coordination from the City of Fremont, the library was able to secure land adjacent to the building to once again add on to the building and increase parking size.

The Toledo Lucas County Public Library Mott Branch serves over 13,000 citizens in the Onyx and Roosevelt neighborhoods that sit to the West of Downtown Toledo.

Completed in 1936, the Museum of Science was a Works Progress Administration building. Holding various uses between 1936 and 2017, the building slowly drifted into the backdrop of the buildings within the Toledo Zoo complex. The majority of visitors to the zoo wouldn’t step foot in the building during their trek throughout the park, unless it was the holidays (when large festive installations filled the halls of the museum), or for private events. Being one of the oldest and largest buildings on the campus, it was time for some much-needed updating to bring it back to its glory of an educational staple of scientific history within the community.
