Auraria Campus Will Build 5th Street Parking Garage
The new 5th Street Parking Structure project on the Auraria Higher Education Campus in Denver involves a 350,000-sq-ft garage that will hold more than 1,200 stalls, plus retail space on the ground level. Construction on the $17-million parking structure is expected to start in mid-May, with work continuing for about 12 months until July 2014. The garage, at 5th and Walnut streets, will be built north of the AHEC administration building and sited near the existing Elm Lot.
The five-story garage is one of the campus’ first projects planned for the 5th Street corridor. The 15,000-sq-ft of retail space will be built along the 5th Street and Larimer Street frontage and should help that area become a hub of activity as the campus moves forward with its master-planning goals.
