Award-Winning Civic Landmark Built to Endure
Construction of a 30,000-square-foot civic library for the Town of Los Gatos. The facility integrates high-performance building systems, durable materials, and sustainability strategies to support long-term public use.
Challenge
The project required integrating a refined exterior palette—slate tile, metal panels, and wood veneer—with complex internal systems and high-performance sustainability goals. Building management controls and renewable energy components needed to be coordinated without compromising architectural intent.
Approach
Bogard focused on meticulous quality control and careful coordination of sustainable materials and building systems to meet LEED objectives. Proactive planning and trade coordination supported a smooth delivery of a technically sophisticated facility.
Result
The completed library remains a high-performing community landmark—proving that iconic design can also deliver long-term efficiency, durability, and environmental responsibility.
“The Town was fortunate to have Bogard Construction as our contractor, as they were focused on providing the best possible workmanship and a cooperative relationship. This produced a Library for our Town that all can be proud of. I would recommend them highly.”
