C.W. Driver Breaks Ground on Manhattan Beach Library
MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — The new 22,000-square-foot Manhattan Beach Public Library is currently under construction after C.W. Driver, with offices in Irvine, Calif., broke ground on the facility in August. The $19 million project includes demolishing the existing 43-year-old facility (about half the size of the new structure) and replacing it with the new, two-story facility. Los Angeles-based Harley Ellis Devereaux Architects designed the facility, and the master plan was created by Johnson Favaro, based in Culver City, Calif. It is designed to meet LEED Gold standards.
