Decatur Street Parking Structure

Located two blocks from the Georgia State Capitol, this parking structure was ripe for expansion due to its proximity to rail facilities for commuters. The three-level vertical expansion provides 400 additional parking spaces for monthly patrons. The expanded levels are set back to reduce massing. A brick and precast/ prestressed concrete façade with two-color epoxy textured coating substantially improves the appearance of the facility. A pedestrian bridge spans over a CSX railroad and MARTA track.

This project received the International Parking Institute’s Award of Excellence.
