The spectacular $2 billion, 138-acre Atlantic
Station community is a mixed-use development in the heart of midtown
Atlanta. The gateway to Atlantic Station is The District, a high
density area with one million square feet of open-air retail and
entertainment venues. Carl Walker served as
prime parking consultant, structural engineer and functional designer
for the 38-acre central parking structure that lies underneath The
District and serves as a combined sub-structure for all the development
above.
The parking structure was designed to accommodate more than 7,200 vehicles and incorporates valet parking, revenue control using pay-on-foot and central cashiering stations and on-line access control for office and resident parking areas. The structural system utilizes a precast concrete column and beam superstructure, with factory-topped double tees.
The project is the recipient on numerous design awards, including the Award of Excellence from the Georgia Chapter of the American Concrete Institute.
