Established in 1963, the University City Science Center is the first and largest urban research park in the United States. The demand for parking was high in this multi-block urban research campus, so this free-standing parking structure is designed to meet the parking needs of this research hub. The architectural treatment complements the adjacent research campus buildings.
Project Highlights:
• Two-way traffic flow with 90-degree angled parking stalls
• Precast/prestressed concrete structural frame with pre-topped double tees and caisson foundations
• Two-bay structure with one flat bay and one sloped bay
