California Baptist University (CBU) is a private religious institution located in Riverside, California. Founded in 1950, the school has grown to a current enrollment of over 11,000 students. Constructed adjacent to the recently completed CBU Event Center, the University’s Lancer Plaza Development includes a new main campus entrance, the East Parking Structure, a new Athletics Performance Center, and an expansion to the existing Recreation Center.

The five-level, 1,446-stall East Parking Structure provides parking for students, staff, and visitors. Three vehicular entry/exit locations have been spaced around the building to assist in dispersing traffic during times of peak demand. The structure’s architectural design integrates seamlessly with the rest of the campus’ mission revival style.

The garage exterior features plaster façade elements with integrated glazing on all sides. Large colorful graphic banners and signage support the spirit of Lancer Athletics. Strategically located vertical metal planter screens have been spaced around the perimeter, allowing vines to grow onto the building façade. The roof level of the structure includes a decorative metal shade trellis as well as photovoltaic canopies, shading vehicles on the roof and generating renewable energy. Other sustainable features include drought tolerant planting, provisions for electric-vehicle charging, energy efficient lighting with daylight sensors, enclosed bicycle parking and storm water bio-filtration planters.
