Evergreen Valley College, Library
Degenkolb designed a new state of the art Library facility for Evergreen Valley College. The building is two stories with a partial basement with a total area of approximately 80,000 square feet. The main library space is double height and includes intricate wood and steel “tree” columns which allowed the structure to be exposed while providing architectural interest to the space.
Features:
- Exposed Structural Elements
- Labs, study rooms, distance learning classrooms
Benefits:
- More space for technology and learning center

Why did you go into structural engineering?
I grew up working construction in my father’s business. He relentlessly insisted I not “do what he does and ruin your body AND that I go to college”. And so I did, and Structural Engineering was what came most naturally.
Little Known Facts

Why did you go into structural engineering?
My father is an architect who taught and encouraged me to build things. That interest in building developed from personal construction projects, to going to school to understand how building work, to helping my clients design the projects they need and desire.
Little Known Fact
I enjoy running and doing my own construction projects at home.
Question of the Day
What’s your favorite way to get to work?
Casual Carpool as you can often have an interesting conversation with someone you wouldn’t normally get to meet.
