WGI was a key player in the complex vertical expansion of the existing 1,475-space Craige Parking Deck at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. This structure is a key parking location for University residents, commuters, health affairs personnel, and special events. The vertical expansion added four levels of parking, totaling 926 new spaces, to a building that was not originally designed for vertical expansion.
Vehicular entrances and exits along with vehicular ramping and circulation lanes were designed to accommodate peak traffic volumes and provide a comfortable and convenient parking experience.
• Comprehensive phasing plan to enable the garage to remain open for parking throughout the two-year construction process
• A maximum of only 400 parking spaces could be removed from service at any given time
• The existing structure was significantly upgraded to accommodate the additional loading and was brought to current seismic design standards
• Column strengthening, foundation underpinning, and seismic lateral bracing were required using a variety of engineering retrofit technologies
• Comprehensive concrete restoration and new waterproofing systems were implemented throughout the existing structure.
