Located on a 6.3-acre plaza in the center of an iconic ski town, the 265,000-sq-ft precast garage resembles a historic mining structure. More than just a place to park nearly a thousand vehicles for town attractions and the Breckenridge Ski Resort, the structure includes more than 30 miles of snowmelt channels for the parking decks and pedestrian plaza, along with MEP systems and restrooms.
Preplanning and cohesive teamwork kept the project on track and on budget, with most challenges addressed in the design stage. Early involvement by the owner led to key decisions that avoided future scope changes and schedule extensions. For example, redesigning the structure from cast-in-place concrete to precast allowed for more elaborate exterior finishes and avoided the need to interrupt a second ski season with construction activity.
