Details

Built to accommodate the growing needs of the Albert Sherman Center, this 7-level structure features 1440 parking spaces, 3 stair towers, 1 elevator and 2 pedestrian bridges. Unique to its design is construction into a sloping site with precast lateral load bearing K-walls, thin brick units cast integrally into exterior precast columns and wall panels, and a bus pickup and drop off zone. The garage provides unreserved parking for Medical Center students, faculty and staff only with regular shuttle bus service to/from the main campus.
