San Diego Miramar College has an exciting event coming up this fall: the grand opening of its new Library/ Learning Resource Center, being built by Sundt under a $23.2 Construction Manager Multiple Prime contract. The three-story, 105,000-square-foot building is equipped with a 236-seat auditorium, classrooms, a computer lab and library. The adjacent central quad consists of landscaped areas and circular concrete pathways that mimic an aviation navigational tool – an homage to the site’s former use as an airfield.
The building core is structural steel; a mix of plaster and stone veneer makes up the exterior. The higher education project is aiming for LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
