This 927-space parking structure was part of an expansion at the Maricopa County Jail Facility. It is a secure facility with two segregated ramping systems used to separate visitors and employees of the sheriff’s office. Dramatic, desert-color elements of precast concrete accent the building’s stair and elevator towers and match the surrounding architecture of the prison complex.
The parking structure houses a credit union, daycare center and food court on the first level.
