PARKING
“McCarthy’s team focus on safety and quality, together with the experience they bring to the project, has greatly contributed to our joint success.”
—Stephen Bennett, Bechtel construction manager, Riverside County Transportation Commission
Construction is underway on a 1,100-car parking structure at one of the busiest Metrolink stations in Riverside County.
The 375,000-square-foot structure will provide much needed parking space to Southern California rail commuters and travelers when it opens in summer 2009. The 6-level, cast-in-place concrete structure’s design features a moment frame and four repeating colors of architectural concrete precast panels along its façade. The structure will include two elevators, two entrances and exits as well as a 101-foot long pedestrian bridge on the fourth level, which will connect to an existing pedestrian bridge to the station. Project challenges include building adjacent to an operational train station and rail lines, working with multiple agencies and relocating major utilities. McCarthy has recycled over 13,000 tons of construction waste to date during this project. Architect/Engineer: Stantec Architecture, San Francisco/Walker Parking, San Francisco.
