Forest Avenue Garage

Ann Arbor, Michigan

The Forest Avenue Garage was a joint venture between the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority and the University of Michigan. The garage features unique architectural detailing with angled glass curtain walls at the stair/elevator towers and decorative canopies at vehicle entrances. It provides a total of 863 spaces on seven parking levels, and includes a sophisticated access control system that monitors and electronically nests U of M permit parkers, City of Ann Arbor permit parkers and visitors. For added safety and convenience, a small police station and parking office are located at the first floor street level, and a pedestrian bridge at the third level connects the garage to an adjacent office building.
