SAN DIEGO—C.W. Driver, a premier builder serving California since 1919, has been awarded a $9.4 million design-build library project in San Diego County.

The Alpine Library marks the third design-build project, as well as the third library for which C.W. Driver has been selected as the design-builder by the County of San Diego. Scheduled for completion in spring 2016, the project is designed to target LEED Gold certification and will be the county's first Zero Net Energy building (ZNE). A groundbreaking celebration will take place at 1830 Alpine Blvd. on Friday, March 6 at 11 a.m.

“The community has really come together to make the construction of the new Alpine Library a reality,” said Rich Freeark, senior vice president with C.W. Driver. “New construction in San Diego has seen a 58% increase from 2013, showing increased optimism and strengthening economic stability. As this is C.W. Driver's third library project within the County of San Diego, we will rely on our strong connections and knowledge in the region to meet all of the client's goals.”
Located near the Alpine Community Center and the Veterans Wall of Honor, the 12,900-square-foot library provides a flexible space to facilitate community and educational activities for residents of both Alpine and nearby communities.
