Bristol-Myers Squibb Parking Structure - Hopewell, New Jersey TimHaahs served Bristol-Myers Squibb as the prime designer for an employee parking structure at their Hopewell, New Jersey campus. This five-story, precast parking structure provides 1622 spaces for employees. The main stair/elevator tower is designed to accommodate a pedestrian bridge at the fourth level to connect to the adjacent office building currently under design. There will also be an additional stairtower and one punch-thru stair.  An important consideration was that the structure be designed to be neighbor-friendly. To accomplish this, the architectural facade is comprised of brick in-fill precast panels and glass. A precast flat roof was added over the entire footprint which gives the facility an office building look while also preventing glare of the metal halide lighting. Security and safety are always prime considerations. To allow users to feel more comfortable, the floor-to-floor height was increased to 12’-6” on the ground floor through the second floor; the remaining floors are the typical height of 11”-0”. The stairtowers incorporate glass making the facility more architecturally appealing and increases the feeling of openness and safety. This facility was completed in 2002.  |
