The University Town Center Bus/Trolley Station Parking Structure is located on the southwestern corner of the busy Westfield Shopping Center. The four level, 476-stall parking structure serves users of the adjacent bus and trolley transit stations as well as providing retail parking on the lowest level. Aesthetically designed to mimic the large retail parking structure directly to the north, the structure integrates seamlessly into the site. Taking advantage of the topography, the lowest level of the structure is partially subterranean reducing the overall mass. Connecting directly to the bus transit facility as well as the final stop of the light rail “Blue Line”, the structure provides convenient parking for transit users taking advantage of the newly completed stations. Glass-backed elevators access each level of the structure and discharge users at the pedestrian pathway connection to both the transit stations and retail center. Amenities within the structure include a stall counting system directing users to available stalls, electric vehicle charging stations and enclosed bicycle storage. The rooftop of the structure includes fabric shade canopies as well as a photovoltaic array mounted on canopies above parking stalls.
