A campus-like site with six buildings currently under construction and a total of more than 300,000 square feet of production and post-production facilities requires substantial additional parking.














The parking structure is straightforward and inexpensive -- steel frame, metal deck, regular bays and ingress/egress ramps attached at opposite ends of the western face. On the western portion of the top level of the garage, over the parking entry, a new office structure is planned. Though the four level structure itself is essentially invisible to the campus site, it serves as a podium for this rooftop office building which is substantially higher than adjacent production/post-production structures, and acts both as a garage entry focus at the end of the auto access road, and as a closing wall on the west edge of the site.

The Parking Structure leaves exposed the soft, sprayed-on fireproofing of columns and beams which contrasts with the precision of the un-fireproofed metal decks. Access and egress to upper parking levels is via speed ramps on the west front of the structure.

Area: 176,600 sq ft
