ng on College Campuses Traditional: Parking facilities


were run with a traditional swipe card reader and gates still operational from the 1950s. Modern: Garages utilize state-of-


the-art equipment, such asAVI for stu- dents and pay-on-foot systems for visi- tors. Quickly moving students in and out of the garage is vital. After all, the campus staff doesn’t want to hear from disgruntled students about being late to class because of a line at the park- ing control equipment. The college garage facility has


changed a lot sincemany of us went to school and as such, the design also has to change to keep up with the times. No more pulling old plans out of the drawer and expecting them to work. With all of the new programming now being added to garages, it’s imperative that an experienced parking consultant be used. Some of these programming requirements may be relatively easy to implement, but others will require a thorough understanding of their needs before the design can even begin.


Atmany universities, largemultiuse parking structures, like this one at the University of Houston, are becoming the norm. Picture © Rick Gardner.
