West Hollywood Library & Municipal Garage – West Hollywood, CA

Johnson Favaro assisted the City of West Hollywood in 2002 in over a year-and-a-half long process with the development of a master plan for West Hollywood Park, one of the few open spaces within this intensely urban community at the heart of metropolitan Los Angeles. The first phase of implementation of the plan includes a new 48,000 SF branch of the County of Los Angeles Library, which sits on both county and city owned property. The city funded the construction of the facility while the county operates it. The facility includes a children’s library, a teen center, a career development center, special collections, a community meeting room, a multi-purpose public meeting room (for council and commission meetings and other uses), a café, a bookstore, a TV station and shelving for over 150,000 volumes. The library project also includes two parking garages: a 90-car subterranean structure for the exclusive use of library patrons and a 330-car structure serving the neighborhood.
