The 607-space Arcadia parking structure was a vital part of an extensive downtown redevelopment effort that included construction of the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, Arcadia Commons Campus of Kalamazoo Valley Community College, West Michigan Cancer Center, a new corporate office campus and the renovation of several historic buildings. Storefront retail space is featured at street level.
