Parking facilities are evolving as owners rethink how parking structures fit into their future needs. The role parking plays as the entry place to our cities, towns, campuses, and buildings presents opportunities to integrate even more seamlessly into the fabric of the overall built environment. Equally important, a parking structure can contribute positively to a building and business’s customer experience, sometimes setting the tone for an establishment’s point of entry. The integration of parking into the evolving mixed-use urban setting, and transportation systems, requires the parking facility to address new expectations incorporating quality, safety, new code requirements, sustainability, and schedule efficiencies.
