Santa Clara Central Park Library

Critical Solutions Inc.
Project Details:
  • Client: City of Santa Clara 
  • Status: Completed
  • Project Size: 86,600 square feet
  • Prime association with another CM firm
  • Included a 56,000 square foot subterranean parking structure
  • Located in a heavily-used central park setting
Library’s sustainable design features included:    
  • A comprehensive daylight harvesting system with integrated photosensitive controls that continuously monitor interior light levels and automatically dim unneeded lights 
  • The energy-efficient delivery of conditioned air at the user level via low-volume vents in a raised floor rather than via high-volume registers at the ceiling level 
  • The location of more than half of the facility’s 230 parking spaces underneath the building, reducing the “heat island” effect of large amounts of surface paving as well as preserving adjacent park space 
  • Recycled construction materials from the demolished former Central Library diverted from local landfills and used as “fill” beneath the new facility
  • The use of water-cooled chillers rather than less-efficient air-cooled units
  • A central location and adjacencies to other community amenities, allowing visitors to accomplish many tasks in one trip.
