The library was constructed in 1975 and was in dire need of modernization. The design for the renovation celebrates John Marshall Library's role in the community by dramatically opening up the exterior of the building to showcase the interior spaces, and creating a new entrance that welcomes visitors

The renovated building includes improved collections and seating areas, quiet and group study rooms, and expanded staff work areas. All HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems were completely redone to modern standards and all interior room finishes and furnishings were provided. The design features light-filled, extra-high spine that connects all the main functions of the building, and establishes a modern, welcoming feel along the street. The project is pending USGBC LEED Silver certification approval.
