The newly completed Parking Structure D on the Scripps Memorial Hospital Campus in La Jolla, CA provides a welcoming amenity for hospital staff and visitors. Accessed directly from the main entry to the campus and adjacent to the new Anderson Medical Pavilion, the garage is six levels and contains 2,001 spaces with separate employee and visitor entrance/exit areas. The function of the structure has been designed to provide staff and visitor circulation and parking areas that are separate and distinct. Located adjacent to a landscaped sculpture plaza, the glass-backed elevator/stair tower is an easily recognizable landmark to all users entering and exiting the site.

The enhanced facade design includes brick, plaster and painted concrete, effectively integrating the facility with the architectural theme existing on the campus. The garage features a parking guidance system that displays available spaces per level at the entrance, as well as ceiling mounted space-by-space red/green light indicators to facilitate location of open stalls. Amenities within the structure also include electric-vehicle charging stations, bicycle parking as well as dedicated motorcycle parking. The rooftop photovoltaic array generates a substantial amount of clean energy while providing a shade canopy over vehicles parking on the roof level.

The facility includes an open-air pedestrian bridge which spans the length of 180 feet over Scripps Hospital Drive. The design features metal roofing and decorative glass railing with integral LED lights allowing the railing to glow in various colors. The bridge connects the third level elevator lobby of the garage to the Anderson Medical Pavilion. Adjacent to the elevator lobby, a passenger drop-off area has been included to allow patient drop-off in close proximity to the bridge entry.
