Get to know Library Forward, a division of Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc.

Known to many librarians and ULC members simply as “Group 4”, Library Forward is born out of Group 4’s library-specific expertise, and reflected in the firm’s full name: Group 4 Architecture, Research + Planning, Inc.
