The Google Alta project represents a shift toward long-term capital investment, designed with a 50-year vision rather than a traditional short-term outlook. This forward-thinking approach resulted in a 520,000-square-foot parking structure engineered for total flexibility. While it currently provides 1,209 static stalls and 460 mechanical stackers across four levels, the building is intentionally designed for adaptive reuse. Its structural integrity and tall ceiling heights allow for a seamless transition into a modern office building in the future with minimal demolition required.
The facility enhances the user experience through a spacious interior and a vibrant pedestrian greenway that connects the site to the broader campus. Beyond parking, the project incorporates sustainable and community-focused features, including a 1-megawatt solar structure and 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail space.
Parking Project Details
Clark Pacific delivered a comprehensive prefabricated structural parking solution that balances current utility with future versatility. By utilizing an off-site approach, we provided a high-quality, resilient framework capable of supporting the project’s long-term lifecycle goals.
Key elements of the parking structure include:
-
Designed for Deconstruction: The structural system was engineered to facilitate adaptive reuse, allowing the garage to be converted into office space while preserving the primary structure and key building systems.
-
Enhanced User Environment: The design features tall ceiling heights and painted interiors, creating a bright, open environment that feels more like a finished building than a traditional garage.
-
Sustainability & Innovation: We integrated a 1-megawatt solar canopy and a dynamic kinetic facade that replicates murals of the surrounding environment, ensuring the structure is a sustainable and aesthetic asset to the campus.
-
Rapid Delivery: Shifting the structural production to our off-site facility allowed for a streamlined construction schedule, ensuring the 1,669 total parking spaces were delivered with maximum efficiency and minimal site disruption.
