have a gross floor area of 430,752 square feet (SF) and parking spaces for 1,326
vehicles. The parking structure will be conventional precast concrete double tee
construction. The precast structure will have a single central ramp accessing the upper
levels. Three stair wells will serve the upper floors along with two elevators in each of
the stair wells. The exterior will have brick veneer cast into the exterior panels to match the existing structures at the CRC. The new structure will also require tie-ins to local utilities. New landscaping will also be installed surrounding the structure. To facilitate the construction of the parking structure the existing parking lot will require temporary relocation to another area on the campus.
