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 The new facility will be constructed on the same site as the existing outdated library community center and adjacent playground.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 for the adjacent community, new play spaces for tots and small children, as well as much needed onsite parking. The project will be a minimum LEED silver, 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.
