Purdue University Calumet Parking Structure

An increased demand for parking by students, faculty, staff and visitors necessitated the construction of the first parking garage on the Purdue University Calumet campus. The design of the 874-space garage blends in with the campus setting. The garage is connected to Porter Hall by an at-grade pedestrian walkway. This connection provides a continuation of the internal pedestrian circulation within the campus.

Project Highlights:

• One glass-backed elevator tower and three glass-backed stair towers
• Passive security features include emergency phones, a screened perimeter at grade level and lighting that exceeds industry standards
• Precast spandrel panels with brick veneer facade
• Perforated aluminum screen wall around the top level
• Cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete long-span beams and slabs
