Electing to consolidate the many parking lots on their land-locked Sacramento City Campus, Los
Rios Community College District was in need of a parking structure.
The east side of the college had been selected for the site of the new parking structure as it
already contained the city light-rail and bus stops. The parking structure, along with the campus
stadium, frames the commuters' entrance to
the college with a new pedestrian promenade.
In addition to the parking structure and directly
adjacent to it, IPD designed a new 3,175
square foot Campus Police Building. Both
projects are clad with pre-cast concrete panels
veneered with brick and iron-work fenestration
that echoes the Spanish Colonial architecture
of Sacramento City College.
The structure handles over 1900 cars with
gently sloping ramps, two-way traffic flow and
90-degree parking. The five-floor, five-bay
structure is accessed via two decorative stair
and elevator towers.
