Diablo Valley Community College's new 16,500 square foot student bookstore creates a landmark focal point for the main campus quad and incorporates all the latest trends in bookstore design.
The program includes a full service cafe, convenience store, daylit sales floor, administrative offices and covered queuing area to protect students from the elements during peak "buy back" season. This modern college bookstore includes 4160 Volt power distribution to serve the building, electric lighting, DSA-level fire alarm, telephone/data cabling design and power distribution. Extensive daylighting is an integral part of the building design, augmented by extremely energy-efficient luminaires, occupancy sensors and other energy-saving design elements throughout the facility.
