The $39.4 million Miramar College Library/Learning Resource Center is a three-story, 100,000-square-foot facility that provides state-of-the-art teaching and independent learning spaces, a new library, classrooms, computer labs, tutoring services, a media production facility, café, and faculty and staff offices and work spaces.

The LLRC is designed to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), and includes a number of sustainable features:

 Design maximizes both daylight and views to the outside, increasing user comfort and productivity, and reducing the need for artificial light.
 All windows use "high performance" glass that allows sunlight to filter into the building, but reduces the amount of UV light and solar heat entering the building
 Extensive use of construction and design materials made with recycled content
 Materials are locally produced or harvested, and will produce little or no chemical fumes
 High efficiency plumbing and electrical fixtures
 Light colored roofing, concrete paving and canopy-type trees reduce the heat absorbed and re-radiated from the building and site
 A rooftop deck will provide gathering space and area for future solar photovoltaic panels
 Trees and shrubs have been selected for their compatibility to the area, to provide shade and to minimize the need for water
 A high efficiency irrigation system uses reclaimed water, and utilizes a controller that adjusts itself to local weather, resulting in significant water savings
 Diversion of at least 75% of construction waste from local landfills
