Architect: Moore Ruble Yudell
Designers Moore Ruble Yudell Architects and Planners, constructed the garage, which is on its way to being the first LEED
Certified parking structure in the USA. The structure provides 900
parking spaces (14 of which are devoted to electric vehicles) throughout
six levels of above ground parking and one and a half levels of below
ground parking. Free bicycle storage is also
available to encourage alternate transportation. The parking garage,
which is the Santa Monica Civic Center parking structure, has a solar
panel arrangement that provides all of the building’s energy needs. Not
only is the building energy efficient, it also contains many sustainable
features such as a storm drain water treatment system, recycled
construction materials, low-VOC paints and coatings, low-e glazing for
heating and cooling efficiency, and energy efficient mechanical systems.
The Glass Association of North America also awarded the firm a design
award based on the use of laminated glass panels.
