University of Michigan Medical Center

Ann Arbor, Michigan

The parking structure is an architectural focal point for the north entrance to the expanded Medical Center campus of the University of Michigan. With a total of 970 parking spaces, the six-level structure provides segregated parking areas for patients/visitors and staff/physicians. It is also designed for a future four-level vertical expansion to meet the future parking needs of the Medical Center.

The exterior of the garage is designed with precast façade panels and bands of field-laid brick to blend in with campus architecture; in addition, the east elevation of the garage is set back every two levels to minimize massing. An elevated pedestrian skywalk provides direct access from the garage to the Cancer & Geriatrics Center.
