Project Scope
Sq. Footage:

This project, which includes space for 843 cars on five levels, was completed on a fast-track basis due to its use of precast concrete components as both the structure and architectural façade. Designed to relate to and complement the traditional architecture on the campus, inset-brick spandrels were accented with precast concrete cornice profiles.
Form and function, coupled with a need to remain cost effective, created ingenious techniques for the entire design and construction team.
