The 159,000 SF project consists of seven levels of above-grade parking and approximately 10,000 SF of ground-level retail space located at the corner of Golden Gate Avenue and Larkin Street in downtown San Francisco, near City Hall. The architectural design consists of ceramics with decorative aluminum raising the height of the façade, emphasizing verticality and symbolic of the aspirations of higher education achieved at this institution.

The color and material palette is composed of a vibrant green tile base and warm earth tone façade elements accented by aluminum storefronts, sunshade devices, vertical fins, and formal entry canopy which enhance the pedestrian environment and complement the scale and vocabulary of the neighboring buildings. The featured element is a continuous glazed curtain wall of opaque white glass which spans five floors and solidifies the corner of the building.

The garage replaces a previously over-utilized surface parking lot, and has become a much needed amenity to students and faculty, employees of the nearby State and City offices, as well as the neighboring community.

Size: 7 Levels, 393 Spaces
