This structure was designed to provide parking for the adjacent Performing Arts Building just north of the parking garage. This four-story garage can accommodate 478 automobiles, with the provision of adding approximately one-third more with a future horizontal expansion to the west. With one level below grade, except at the south elevation, this garage required lite walls in one direction and shear wa Is in the opposite direction to transter the expased seismic and earth horizantal lauds.
The University of Denver - Cherrington Parking Structure This two story parking garage was designed for more than 400 cars. In an attempt to match the architecture of the campus, the building was clad in stone and copper which presented some problems for the lower level that was partially underground. The exterior walls transferred the seismic loads thru connections at the floor/wall expansion joints while retaining the earth horizontal loading. The stairs at each corner also required separation from the garage and presented some detailing challenges at these expansion joints.
