Parking Garage Design for the CambridgeSide Galleria
Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge, Massachusetts, among the most densely developed communities in the United States, is very sensitive to the need of optimizing land use. DeShazo, Tang & Associates, Inc. was hired to modify the original parking layout design for CambridgeSide Galleria, a mixed-use facility consisting of a shopping mall, hotel, and office building located on a tightly restricted site. The Galleria was served by 1,600 underground parking spaces and 800 aboveground parking spaces. DT&A introduced new operational methods and structural design layouts to improve the efficiency of the garage and provide two large truck docks.
