How can an efficient parking design provide opportunities to strategically allocate monies elsewhere?
When designed properly, an efficient parking garage will incorporate as many spaces as possible on the smallest footprint size allowable. Reducing the footprint of a parking facility can significantly reduce initial construction costs and in turn reduce future maintenance costs.
Not only does an effective functional design result in the development of a more efficient, safe, and pleasant experience for others, the design will also save money that can be used towards project improvements, such as:
Aesthetic Architectural Enhancements
- Metal façades
- LED screens
- Vibrant lighting
- Themed signage
Pedestrian User Comforts
- Enhanced lobby design
- Enhanced elevator tower designs
- Increased security features
Revenue Generation Installations in Mixed-Use Spaces
- Restaurants
- Offices
- Commercial spaces
Alternative Energy Solutions
- EV charging stations
- Power-generating systems (solar and wind)
