17 GROUP 4 ARCHITECTURE TAB 1 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS — RELEVANT EXPERIENCEYORBA LINDA LIBRARY + CULTURAL ARTS CENTER Responding to the combination of a years-long effort to expand library services and to expand space for arts and community programming, the City of Yorba Linda commissioned Group 4 to develop a joint use project creating a “civic heartbeat” adjacent to a new Town Center shopping district. The 4.7 acre campus positions a two story, 46,000 SF library and a 14,000 SF arts center to share a pedestrian paseo of outdoor rooms. The project stands out due to its contemporary modern design with plenty of natural ambient lighting through the extensive use of glazed curtain wall systems and skylights. The roof line has multiple slopes and angles to mimic the foothills when seen from a distance. A palette of timeless, natural materials provides an inviting warmth while embellishing the civic stature of the buildings and site. The library provides a full range of community spaces and activities, including traditional collections for all ages, reading areas, and a range of collaborative spaces capable of supporting programs and groups large and small. The arts center provides gallery space, dance studios, a black box theater, and an outdoor amphitheater. The campus connects visitors to the various public amenities, gardens, art, and other features on site, and to the Town Center across the street. To date, the new Yorba Linda Library and Cultural Arts Center has been honored by ASCE Orange County Chapter; APWA Southern California Chapter; and ENR Magazine.
