We’re honored to share that Athens Park received the Intergovernmental Cooperation Award at the Illinois Association of Park Districts Best of the Best Awards Gala.

Today, the site that once sat vacant is filled with activity, and seeing the community enjoy the space is the best reward of all. Getting there took a true team effort, and we’re grateful to have worked alongside TeensOnly Lemontparkdistrict, E. P. Doyle & Son, LLC, Village of Lemont, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, the US Army Corps of Engineers, BNSF Railway, and to bring this site back to life.

Projects like Athens Park show what’s possible when agencies and partners share a vision for their community. Congratulations to the Lemont Park District on this recognition, and happy 60th anniversary!

This week we celebrated the ribbon cutting for the new Carthage Public Library, and it was a proud moment to see this project open its doors to the community it was designed to serve.

The 11,000 sq. ft. building sits on a single, fully accessible level, so every visitor can move through the space easily and comfortably. A large meeting room anchors the design and is ready to host community gatherings, educational programs, and cultural events. New study rooms and expanded seating areas give patrons room to collaborate or focus, while enhanced staff workspaces support the team behind the scenes as they serve their patrons.

Thank you to the Carthage Public Library District for trusting us with this project and for your partnership from the first renderings to opening day. We are excited to see the library become a gathering place for learning, connection, and play for years to come.

with Studio GC Designers!

Today we’re following Architectural Designer Damion as he works through the details of a cabin project. He’s reviewing the drawings closely to make sure every detail supports the goals set at the start of the design process.

Progress update at Highland Park Public Library!

The 7,800 sq ft addition to this 94-year-old library is taking shape. Once complete, the expansion will bring larger youth spaces, an Innovation Studio makerspace, a climate-controlled home for the Highland Park Archives, and a community meeting room.

The library welcomes more than 700 visitors a day, and this addition gives the community room to grow. We can’t wait to see this space come to life!

This past Saturday, our team joined the Three Rivers Public Library Foundation at The Next Chapter Gala, celebrating 50 years of the Three Rivers Public Library District.

Studio GC was proud to be a sponsor of the evening! Libraries are some of the most meaningful spaces we get to design, and it was a privilege to support one that has served Channahon and Minooka since 1976.

Congratulations to the library staff, the Foundation, and everyone at Four Rivers Environmental Education Center who made the night such a success. Here’s to the next 50 years of stories.
