The Encinitas Library is the first phase of the City of Encinitas Civic Center Master Plan. The 25,000 square foot facility overlooks the civic center and offers marvelous views of the Downtown Encinitas and the Pacific Ocean. The building is designed to complement the Encinitas lifestyle with outdoor patios, while protecting west facing glass with overhangs and trellises.  In 2008, the Encinitas library received McGraw Hill Construction-California Construction’s Civil category Award of Merit.
