Omaha Public Library - Downtown Branch

The Omaha Public Library needed a new home in the downtown area, and they found a building that once housed the David Cole Creamery. Renovations on this two-story building resulted from a large collaborative team where Morrissey Engineering provided mechanical and electrical design services. The new library is near 14th and Jones Streets, not far from its former home across from the Gene Leahy Mall.
