According to the mayor of Athens, the design for this parking facility is not only “aesthetically compatible with the unique historic character of downtown Athens,” but also “establishes a new standard for future development in downtown Athens by demonstrating how contemporary architecture can be a good neighbor.”
This compact, 8-level parking deck accommodates 345 cars. Designed for the historic district of downtown Athens, POH+W Architects chose proportions, window patterns, and materials like those of nearby buildings. The exterior consists of brick and precast concrete over a reinforced-concrete frame. The deck received a design award for Outstanding Achievement in design from the Georgia Chapter of the American Concrete Institute.
