Santa Clara Central Park Library
2635 Homestead Road, Santa Clara, CA 95051

Designed for a strong connection with its namesake park, the new Santa Clara Central Park Library provides both innovative and traditional services. Park-facing pavilions provide spacious and light-filled reading rooms, each with unique architectural features and gardens between. Underlying the warmth and beauty is one of California’s most technologically-advanced libraries, with facility-wide wifi as well as RFID and automated materials handling systems. The library showcases original commissioned works by national artists celebrating the value and wonder of reading, knowledge, and creative thought. Sustainable design features include an award-winning variety of innovative systems, materials, and technologies. The project was completed on schedule and under budget, and received major utility rebates.
