Santa Barbara Central Library Renovation Project

This was a very special project for Nationwide and the City of Santa Barbara. Despite many hardships that came along due to poorly designed plans, Nationwide’s Engineering team stepped in and worked along Engineering and Architectural teams to make sure things came together correctly. Scope of work included: Construct hoistway and new ADA compliant 3-stop elevator for path of travel continuity from main entry level to upper and lower levels of the Central Library facility. Replace upper level stair and balcony guardrail system at atrium. Renovate existing exterior Library Plaza including new ADA accessible pathways, new landscape and hardscape, irrigation, handrails, sitewalls, Signal lights and lighting at street level. Renovate the lower level staffing area including new conference rooms, raised ceiling, kitchen area, flooring, and lighting.
