This 104,000 sf Main Library for the City of Santa Monica is a classic design-build project with a modern twist - the project obtained a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. The library features a café and courtyard, computer labs, auditorium space and a 560-car subterranean parking structure. A space for the future Santa Monica Historical Society Museum was also incorporated into the design.
