The new 600 car parking facility replaces a circa. 1975 garage that was structurally weakening and not used to it’s 500 car capacity for a number of years. This project is the first initiative of the City’s new Downtown Revitalization strategy and attempts to better integrate a utilitarian building loke a parking garage into the existing urban context.

This project has been designed with the environmentally considerate principals of sustainable design as mandated by LEED® and is targeted to achieve SILVER Certification (32 points).

Sustainable Design Features include:

·  Reduced energy consumption when measured against the energy performance described by the Model National Energy Code for Buildings.

·  Open storey design that allows for natural ventilation through passive air exchange , eliminating the need to mechanical ventilation.

·  Rainwater is collected from the roof and used for non-potable water activities (flushing water conserving low-flow toilets). 

·  Many of the materials will be locally produced, sourced from within 800 km of the site.
