SMBH

A creative culture of passionate people engaged in innovative structural design.

View on Fifth Parking Garage

Location:
Columbus, Ohio

Architect:
MODE Architects / Dugan & Myers

Construction Cost:
$4.5 million

Project Size:
110,000 SF (400 Parking Spaces)

The View on Fifth project is a 285-unit mixed-use development on Fifth Avenue in Grandview. The main six-story building will contain 153 residential units, ground-floor retail, and amenities for the residents. The project will also include a 400-car parking garage hidden from street view by the main six-story building.

SMBH, Inc. partnered with Dugan and Meyers Construction to design the parking garage. SMBH led the design team and worked with Dugan and Meyers in a design-build relationship. The design process required close coordination with the design team of the adjacent mixed-use development, which the parking garage supports. Balancing required parking counts with the size and cost of the parking garage was critical as the overall project's design was developed. The site for the parking garage was limited as a result of the size of the site and the size of the mixed-use building. Utility easements on two sides of the parking garage further complicated the layout and structural design. This resulted in the upper four floors cantilevering over the lower two floors. The parking layout on the lower two floors was modified to be parallel parking rather than traditional parking so that some parking capacity was maintained.

The structure's final design was a cast-in-place post-tensioned long-span structure. The structure's upper level was designed to accommodate an additional level in the future. Significant cost savings were realized by using rammed aggregate piers instead of the deep foundation system that was originally recommended. Since the adjacent mixed-use building hides the parking garage, the façade of the garage is cast-in-place concrete.
