In 1993, Memorial Hall Library and the Trustees of Memorial Hall Library undertook a front-entrance redesign project to return the building to front landscape and walkway design closer to the original 1920s entrance look and feel. Local landscape arctitect Peter Hornbeck and Andover architect Jane Griswold collaborated on the design which included native plantings, an oval brick patio and granite curbing. Project funding included individual and corporate private donors, Memorial Hall Library Trustee funds and state funds.

The front entrance project was originally part of a major 1987 renovation and addition project. Due to a state-funding budget shortfall, the front-entrance redesign project was not underway until the summer of 1994.
