Wyman WoodsGrandview Heights, Ohioserve Wyman Woods, a city park open year-round, contracted Schaefer for renovations and additions to its existing structure that is currently used by daily visitors and for large events. The addition added 400 sq ft for new restrooms and a new clearstory, an area in which windows rise above the roofline. This clearstory also gives a view of the exposed wood trusses.
