Portola Valley Town Center
(# 546)
Images Description Credits
The design of this Town Center redeveloped 11 acres of a surplus public school site into a park, play fields, and three primary Town Center structures - a Library, Community Hall, and Town Hall offices.  The original structures on the site were astride the San Andreas fault, which forced their abandonment.  The new buildings are arranged around a Town Plaza that terminates a sweep of reintroduced native and pastoral landscape. The Library contains reading rooms, a children’s area, staff office and the Town Heritage room.  The Town Hall houses the administrative offices, Building, Planning,  and Engineering  departments as well as the town’s emergency operations center.  The Community Hall provides a large divisible multi-purpose room, two activity rooms, storage and a catering kitchen.  The Type V, wood frame buildings, are B-2 occupancy with accessory A occupancies.  The $15 million dollar project was finished in October, 2008.
