Event parking has unique challenges.
With so many people entering and exiting within a short period of time, circulation and operational efficiency are paramount. Walker assisted the team in designing a high-functioning campus by:- Using our expertise in both design and operations to help develop a plan for distributing 4,000 spaces throughout the campus with a focus on pedestrian experience, allocation strategies to distribute event demand, minimizing queues and circulation challenges.
- Consulting on rideshare pickup/drop-off locations. With a large volume of transactions anticipated before and after events, we established the number and geometry of lanes needed, created an approach for queuing and loading, incorporated entry/exit and pedestrian flow considerations into the design, and prepared an operating plan for managing the flow of drivers and customers as they try to find each other.
- Designing a state of the art Automated Parking Guidance System (APGS) that displays the number of standard and ADA spaces available on each level of the garage, and then uses a red and green light system at each stall to direct drivers to empty stalls. The customer experience is made even smoother with prepaid parking options on Ticketmaster and a License Plate Recognition (LPR) car finder that helps guests locate their vehicle after hours of entertainment.
