The North Entry Parking Structure is a seven level, precast parking structure that serves as
the main parking structure for the $1 billion Getty Center in Los Angeles. It connects to the remainder of the project by a three-quarter mile long elevated monorail system. Planning Department restrictions required that all parking be covered and planted, including that for the large busses bringing guests to the Getty Center. The structural
system is precast columns, prestressed girders, conventionally reinforced concrete slabs, and shotcrete perimeter walls. Innovative mechanical system design required close coordination between the other disciplines, the structural design, and the shoring system
supporting the nearly 100 foot excavation and the adjacent San Diego Freeway. Our firm also served as the parking consultant for this project.
