BEYOND THE STATS
- The Jefferson Library expansion adds 6,000 SF to the original historic Spanish-style library built in 1921, and includes a community meeting hall, homework room, children’s story room, expanded reading rooms, new stacks, and staff support areas.
- The pre-design process included community workshops at the library where recommendations were made to the design team. The resulting design follows the direction set at the workshops and preserves the building’s character-defining features.
- The new entry and circulation spine run along the east side of the existing library, exposing portions of the original masonry walls. The existing patio is restored, bringing light into the library and providing a secure outside reading room.
South Seas House
The Baroque of ethnic-themed Victorian mansions. It was saved by the City in the early 2000’s from near collapse and given a million dollar makeover into a community center that is connected with the Benny Potter Park complex a half block away.
