Wright Street Parking Deck

The Wright Street Parking Deck was a complex project in the heart of Auburn that provided much-needed parking to the area. The 7-level, 165,000 SF parking structure was constructed on an extremely tight site using Geopier foundations.

Due to the specific design requirements of the City of Auburn, the challenge of the project was to create a large structure that was aesthetically pleasing and met the City’s requirements while also being structurally sound. The solution was to create custom architectural precast concrete panels.

The parking deck’s façade features architectural precast concrete panels with brick inlay. The City of Auburn uses a specific brick on all city projects. GATE worked with the GC and brick supplier to develop a plan to utilize the brick in this specific precast application. Full bricks were manufactured and then cut down to produce thin brick that could then be embedded within the precast concrete panels.

This project came in under budget and was completed within the original construction schedule.
