The 750-space Front and Washington parking structure is viewed as the “gateway” to the city. Therefore, a critical issue for WGI was to integrate the design of the facility with its historical surroundings. It features a pedestrian walkway to a nearby office building.
The parking structure received the International Parking Institute’s Award of Excellence in Parking Design.
