Agenda Item Description Form
1. Item: 1A Parking Garage Exterior Design
2. Requesting Department: Parking and Transportation
3. Contact Names & Phone Numbers: Bob Browand, 2-5750
4. Presenter: Bob Browand
5. Recommendation/Action: Approval
6. Summary:
The University of Houston Parking Garage 1a will be a 5 level precast concrete structure
housing 1500 vehicles, including 8 motorcycles. The garage will accommodate students,
faculty, and staff. Each group has a separate entrance into the garage: faculty/staff entries
have two-lane entrances and two-lane exits, and the student entry has three-lane entries
and four-lane exits. Ample queuing space has been provided at each entry.
During special events the entries and exits can work together to handle arriving or
departing vehicles, distinct parking areas can link to serve overflow crowds, and weekday
flow can be reversed to improve traffic flow.
The garage is to be mainly accessed from the north via a driveway running between the
garage and the Welcome Center Garage. A secondary entrance is provided along the west
side. Additional parking spaces on the roof of the Welcome Center Garage will be
accessed via a pre-cast concrete vehicular bridge from the 5thlevel of Parking Garage 1a.
The elevator/stair tower at southeast corner of the garage aligns with a crosswalk
connecting to the Optometry building across Calhoun, and provides an iconic element as
an entry point to the campus. The northwest elevator/stair tower is similar in design but at
a reduced scale to provide a signature element addressing the interior of the campus
across from the Welcome Center Garage.
The precast parking structure is clad in buff color precast panels with horizontal reveals
to provide shadows and texture. Gray metal panels will clad both elevator towers, with
woven metal mesh and glass on its exterior.
The stairs will be a precast concrete with a solid metal panel handrail system supported
off a precast center wall painted red.
The garage design draws upon the materials palette -- buff brick/pre-cast concrete/stone,
metal accents, and transparent energy efficient glass -- already used extensively on new
campus construction. The Welcome Center and Stadium Parking Garages, for example,
realize this palette in buff concrete, brick and cast stone, the same transparent glass, and
similar metal grilles and shading screens.
Key feature areas have been designed to give the garage a UH identity. These areas
include the stair towers at the corners of Wheeler at Calhoun and Entrance 4 Drive and
Welcome Center Service Drive. The towers will be recognizable from a distance and
create a sense of gateway/arrival. The towers will be lit at night so that the upper ceilings
glow and create a strong visual effect from a distance.
