Project Description & Statistics
The Oak Grove Library Center (located in Waukegan, IL) is a state of the art, climate controlled, high density service center that can currently house up to 1.9 million items in 12,000 square feet of space. The total gross square footage of the Center is approximately 19,000 square feet including all the processing and other necessary spaces.
