Parking lot pavement plays an important role in our environment. There are many types, like permeable and cool pavements, that help with drainage and heat. Self-healing pavements need less maintenance and last longer.
Parking lot design significantly influences driver behavior and overall safety. Property owners can create safer parking environments by carefully considering layout, visibility, signage, and markings and incorporating innovative technologies and sustainable practices.
The City of Hope Parking Structure project is a six-story concrete parking structure offering 1,087 parking stalls for patients and staff, with future capability for retail space on the ground level. CO Architects was part of the design-build team with TRC Parkitects and McCarthy Building Companies to create Parking Structure A.
