This LEED Gold certified project includes a City Hall and a Library / Assembly Hall. Serving as a focal point for community and environmental stewardship, the campus offers a variety of outdoor spaces including a grove of olive trees, a civic plaza, and an amphitheater, that together form the public heart of Calabasas. The City Hall structure includes a 26,000 square foot, two-story Council Chamber that seats 125 people as well as a public counter for day-to-day interaction with local government, offices for elected officials, the city manager, department heads, and workplaces for city staff. The 28,000 square foot Library has a tall central hall with clerestory windows illuminating the center of the large one-story space. Together with traditional library functions, the library contains an acoustically refined 200-seat multipurpose meeting room, which serves as a venue for small-scale musical events. Underground parking accommodates 230 cars.
