FEATURED PROJECT:
Florida State University Parking Garage and Bookstore

This 1,008 car, multi-level parking garage is located in the heart of Florida State University. The surrounding buildings provide well defined contextual parameters which encouraged the use of brick and low rises massing. The project included 40,000 sf of retail space, comprised of the university bookstore as well as office spaces for the Business Services Department. User safety was a key issue in its design as well as energy efficient lighting, one-way vehicle circulation, visually open stairwells and consideration for future closed circuit television surveillance cameras. Other issues included pedestrian circulation around the structure, protection of several century oaks, disabled access and retail visibility. The large scale of the structure was played down through the use of dynamic perspective, proportion, human scale elements and the detailing of materials at the pedestrian level.
