The Bexar County parking structure provides 740 parking spaces for County government employees on 8 levels above grade. The ground floor of the facility houses 34,000 square feet of occupied space for the Bexar County IT department and a fitness center. The parking garage, located just off the historic courthouse square, offers convenient parking for Bexar County judges and employees. The garage also serves visitors during non-business hours.
Due to the expansive soil conditions encountered at the site and to mitigate potential vertical floor movements, the ground level floor consists of a suspended post-tensioned concrete floor system. A vehicular express ramp was required from Level 1 to 2 to provide sufficient ceiling height for the occupied space on Level 1. Architectural finishes include stone limestone veneer panels selected to match the adjacent Bexar County Archives Building.
Project Highlights:
• Precast concrete construction provides high quality finishes and speed of construction, while minimizing on-site disruption.
• 34,000 SF at Level 1 for office space for Bexar County IT and the county Wellness Center space.
• Express ramps provide vertical traffic circulation to create headroom of the Level 1 occupied space.
• Three-bay parking configuration with one-way circulation around the perimeter and center parking ramps with two-way traffic.
• Post-tensioned suspended slab at grade.
