The Facts
landLAB collaborated with Safdie Rabines Architects on a new Community Center and Library for the Lincoln Acres community in southeast San Diego. The new facility will be constructed on the same site as the existing outdated library community center and adjacent playground. The new facility will include: an outdoor dining terrace adjacent to the community center that will be highly programmed by the surrounding community, new play spaces for tots and small children, and needed onsite parking. The project is LEED gold certified, featuring; sustainable low water use native plantings in “arroyo” gardens to filter and treat storm water on site, porous paving in the parking lot, and use of onsite recycled materials for new construction.
