Summary: Based on a design by Foster and Partners, the $44 million ($5.3 million electrical), 137,750 square-feet project consists of a two-story building (71,685 square-feet of new construction and 66,065 square-feet of renovation). The existing mission-style building was selectively demolished and a new steel canopy and glass enclosed library stack structure was inserted into the heart of the existing building. The new library, opened in April 2008, is placed on the eastern end of the central landscape spine destined to become the form-giving architectural icon to the Channel Islands campus.
Bergelectric was responsible for all aspects of the electrical installation for this design assist facility.
