Reinventing the Parking Structure: How Mobility Trends are Impacting Design
Tuesday September 19, | 8:00 AM – 8:45 AM
From the proliferation of parking technology to increased focus on sustainability and EV to the desire for future proofing, changing trends in parking design can have significant impact not only on design, but also on construction and ongoing operations and maintenance. Learn how this impact helps owners not only integrate parking more effectively, but also gives them better tools to get the most out of their parking investment.
In this session, we will discuss how parking design is tackling the rapidly growing demand for EV charging, explore how PARCS and PGS have affected parking structure cost and design decisions, as well as how we can design parking to support today’s needs while being prepared for shifts in future demand.
In this session you will learn:
• The challenges parking design faces with increasing demand for EV charging stations, from incorporating added infrastructure into design to managing electrical loads.
• Design and budget considerations for integrating parking technology, and what you need to know about the impact on ongoing operations and maintenance.
• Strategies for designing flexibility into parking facilities, so owners can “future proof” their parking investment.
