Garver performed engineering services to construct a multi-level cast-in-place post-tensioned parking deck for one of the largest church bodies in northwest Arkansas.
Central United Methodist Church hired Garver to provide professional and lead design services for the deck layout and structural, mechanical, and electrical aspects.
Opened in August, the post-tensioned cast-in-place structure cuts into the side of a hill and rises three stories above the campus's main parking lot to the south and only one story above Lafayette Street to the north. Prior to any site work, the hill sloped down from Lafayette Street approximately 30 feet to the pavement below.
Due to its unique location, the 215-space, four-level structure offers entrances and exits from two different levels. Because the design utilized different grades, church members have the option of entering the parking deck's ground level from the main campus and exiting to St. Charles Avenue or entering and exiting from the third level to Lafayette Street. |
