1311 - Library/Learning Resource Center
Project Delivery Method CMMP
Project Budget $37.4 Million
Construction Duration 2009 - 2011
Scope/Summary
The Miramar College Library/Learning resource Center (LLRC) will be a three-story, 100,000 square feet facility to provide state-of-the art teaching and independent learning spaces and will include a new library, classrooms, computer labs, tutoring services, a media production facility, and faculty and staff offices and work space. The LLRC will be flanked by the future Arts & Humanities and Business, Technology and Mathematics buildings, also funded as part of Propositions S and N.
The building is designed to obtain Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The LLRC will include a number of sustainable features:
-
Design maximizes both daylight and views to the outside, increasing user comfort and productivity, and reducing the need for artificial light.
-
All windows use “high performance” glass that allows sunlight to filter into the building, but reduces the amount of UV light and solar heat entering the building
-
Extensive use of construction and design materials made with recycled content
-
Materials are locally produced or harvested, and will produce little or no chemical fumes
-
High efficiency plumbing and electrical fixtures
-
Light colored roofing, concrete paving and canopy-type trees reduce the heat absorbed and re-radiated from the building and site.
-
A rooftop deck will provide gathering space and area for future solar photovoltaic panels
-
Trees and shrubs have been selected for their compatibility to the area, to provide shade and to minimize the need for water.
-
A high efficiency irrigation system uses reclaimed water, and utilizes a controller that adjusts itself to local weather, resulting in significant water savings
-
Diversion of at least 75% of construction waste from local landfills
