QUEEN CREEK LIBRARY
The Queen Creek Library project included the new construction of a 47,000-square-foot library located in Queen Creek, AZ. The facility functions as a multi-purpose community gathering place. The library was constructed with a steel and masonry structural frame on a slab on grade concrete foundation, an exterior of masonry, aluminum storefront and limestone veneer, and PVC, standing seam metal roof. The project also features general reading rooms, a children’s center, study rooms, and conference rooms. This project achieved LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council based on the sustainable features of solar reflective insulating foam on the roof, low-volatile organic compound paints, an underground storm water retention system, and water-efficient plumbing fixtures. Due to CORE’s state-of-the-art green construction practices, the Town of Queen Creek Library project became the first municipal building designed and constructed with green building features in community of Queen Creek.
