Hospitals, Medical Centers, Universities, Colleges and Airports all have parking garage needs. New parking garage construction may be a requirement for an expanding hospital or medical facility, a growing university or college and a busy airport. The design build approach is ideal for hospital parking garages, university parking garages and airport parking garages. especially where the projects may be government-funded. The design/build approach puts the parking garage owner in a turnkey position, and eliminates the time consuming activities associated with evaluating and managing multiple proposals, vendors and costs.
