SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Turner Construction Company and SVA Architects, Inc. have unveiled the design of the new $10.3-million San Ysidro Public Library located in San Diego, California. The new library will become a cultural beacon for the neighborhood and a source of pride for the local community.
Situated on 1.6 acres, the 15,000-square-foot San Ysidro Public Library will be a transit-friendly development. Located two blocks from the Beyer Boulevard Trolley Station, the project will feature designated areas for children, teens and adults; an event space and a 1,000-square-foot outdoor patio/terrace.
It will also showcase artwork by local artists, brothers Einar and Jamex De La Torre. The Design-Build team is assisted by the following consultants: KPFF Consulting Engineers, LPG Engineering, MA Engineers, Wimmer Yamada and Caughey Landscape Architecture, Brummitt Energy Associates, NORESCO and Michael Baker International.
The team is seeking LEED Silver certification in recognition of the project’s sustainable features including photovoltaic solar panels, water-efficient fixtures and efficient HVAC systems. Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2018, and be completed in spring of 2019.
The San Ysidro Public Library award comes shortly after the grand opening of the $143-million San Diego State University South Campus Plaza project, one of SVA’s signature educational communities in San Diego.
The San Ysidro Library project is being managed by Turner’s Special Projects Division, which performs ground up, interior improvements and renovations, building expansions and facility upgrades ranging from $1-30 million.
