The East Las Vegas Library project included the new construction of a 44,370-square-foot library building. The facility functions as a community hub offering technology, Wi-Fi, workforce training, and cultural event spaces. The project features a 10,775-square-foot library stack with seven reading areas and a 3,476-square-foot multipurpose room with a 300-seat capacity. The project achieved LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for constructing the building around large Aleppo pine trees, allocating five percent of parking spaces for low-emitting/fuel efficient vehicles, and other sustainable features. The library was constructed on a concrete slab-on-grade foundation with isolated footings and a steel structural frame with concrete masonry unit block walls. An exterior consisting of stucco, tile, and concrete masonry unit block with a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) roof system completed the construction. The East Las Vegas Library project now provides a modernized, multi-use space for Las Vegas residents and vital access to technological resources to a previously under served community.
