Construction in Focus magazine hones in on local values of Dayton Main Library

“Rather than being in the book business, they are in the community business now.”

So says Group 4 principal David Schnee in describing the context of Dayton Main Library in a recent feature on the building for Construction in Focus magazine.

Group 4’s values and commitment to environment, economy, community, and culture are articulated by the Dayton library projects, and now by Construction in Focus.
