The 14,000 square foot Design Build library included demolition of the existing library and portions of the existing community center. This new library was designed to fit into a complex footprint with the existing City of Imperial Beach Veteran’s Park and two City streets creating all edge conditions. Innovative water quality measures were built into “dune” landscape features to match the ocean community site and building elements (breaking waves, boardwalk, sand elements). Efforts including site design, drainage and water quality improvements, utilities, and infrastructure permitted and coordinated with the County of San Diego as well as the City of Imperial Beach.
