PARKING STRUCTURE
“McCarthy lived up to its reputation in building parking garages. They are a good, responsive contractor who met our schedule needs.”
—Ron Richardson, associate vice president for facility services, CSU Sacramento
Parking is much easier this semester at CSU, Sacramento with the opening of the largest parking structure built in the CSU system.
The 6-level structure includes 3,100 parking spaces and marks the fifth project to be constructed by McCarthy on the campus. The new structure accommodates current student growth projections, as well as extracurricular events held in the adjacent campus stadium. The structure also will provide parking space for CSU’s new Recreation and Wellness Center, which McCarthy was recently awarded. As a focal point on campus, the project required widening roads leading to the structure and installing a traffic signal. To maximize the allocated space, the project is comprised of two independent structures separated by a seismic gap including a light well down the middle to reduce the number of students and pedestrians crossing adjacent busy streets. The structure features seven elevators and includes space for an additional three for future use. McCarthy self-performed the project’s concrete work, including the foundations.
