Project Overview
The Hays Public Library basement will undergo a remodel later this year. As part of this project, the Kansas Room will be updated, including new furniture, flooring, and workspaces to improve the use of the room for the special collection as well as for presentations and meetings. After working with staff and patrons, a plan was created to best utilize this space. PWC was hired to serve as the general contractor.
