Avaya Parking Structure

Avaya, Inc. is a telecommunications company that specializes in call center technology. Formerly the business communications unit of Lucent Technologies, it was spun off at the turn of the century.

These two parking structures serve employees and visitors to Avaya’s north campus near Denver. The architectural goal of this project was to provide an upscale appearance to the campus and draw attention away from the industrial look of the adjacent manufacturing facility. The decks anchor each end of the high-tech research and development/laboratory complex.

Project Highlights

• Glass-enclosed stair and elevator towers are curved, self-supporting and structurally separated from the structures
• Precast/prestressed concrete superstructure with double tees and beams for floors
