Valdosta State University Sustella Avenue Garage - Valdosta, GA

Valdosta State University selected to design two new parking structures at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia. The parking structures were the first to be built on the university’s campus.

The Sustella Avenue Parking Garage consists of approximately 1000 spaces. The parking structure also includes over 13,000 square feet of office space for the Parking and Transportation Department, the Recreation Department, and a campus police sub-station. In addition, the parking structure was designed to house campus buses during extreme weather conditions such as a major storm or hurricane. Protecting the occupied space with waterproofing membranes was an essential element of the design.



The new parking structure was designed to incorporate numerous passive security features including glass backed stair and elevator towers, a security screen to control access, and an open elevator/stair lobby. Many of these features were also approved for LEED certification points.

The project was delivered on time and within budget.
