AMTRAK Riverfront Parking Garage - Wilmington, Delaware TimHaahs served as the parking garage designer and structural engineer for a 425- space garage at the AMTRAK Station in Wilmington, DE. TimHaahs worked closely with the architect, Tevebaugh Associates, who developed a handsome, brick-clad facility that blends in with the station and surrounding buildings. Slate roofs and decorative railings and grills complement the nearby Victorian architectural style.  The garage serves AMTRAK riders, visitors, and employees of a nearby corporate headquarters building. On weekends, visitors use the garage for special events at Riverfront Plaza, located directly across the street from the garage. The structural system is cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete with minimum floor-to-floor heights so as not to block the park views from the train station platform. Revenue control features a pay-on-foot system that is convenient for businesses, commuters and visitors alike. AWARDS: 2005 Award of Merit, Best Design of a Parking Facility with less than 800 Spaces, International Parking Institute 2005 Honorable Mention, Best Aesthetics in Facility Design, International Parking Institute |
