This project consists of the new 48,000-square-foot Oceanside Library. The Library is situated in a developed suburban area; parking and outdoor space are critical to maintain. Additional square footage was added by demolishing an existing one-story portion of the building and constructing a lower level, first floor, and second floor, to match the existing levels of the portion of the building that is to remain.

The design incorporates many unique spaces such as a theater/stage, a STEM workshop, a podcast room, a demonstration “Discovery” kitchen, a craft room, a café, and a gallery. Sought-after spaces such as meeting rooms and soft seating areas are provided in a variety of sizes and configurations to provide a comfortable and welcoming space for all users. Spaces for adults, teens, tweens, and children are strategically located for ease of access, security, and sound control.
