Hartford Hospital, Hudson Street Employee Parking Garage

Precast concrete is the primary cladding system for the parking structure.  Some of the highlights of the structure include the following:

• Facade texture provided by an offset layout to the white precast panels
• Ribbed, grey precast panels between sections of white precast panels to interrupt the broad elevations
• Small sections of colored brick inlay on precast panels to reflect the surrounding neighborhood
• Panels with a three-dimensional fold to channel rainwater to help mitigate staining
• Long span spandrel panels for the east and west elevations

Working for the precaster, SGH designed the precast concrete parking structure.  For this project, we completed the following:

• Performed a lateral analysis of the structure and provided a summary of lateral forces and calculations to the engineer of record
• Designed shearwall and litewall panels
• Provided stamped structural design calculations and provided framing and detail drawings
