I think they are going to finish that first to offset the lost stadium parking for students

If that is done by August I'd be shocked. In most places it takes 18-24 months to construct a parking deck. When did they actually start on it? January?

Does anyone know how long it took to get Liberry or Rivers decks up?

Matt Dull: Sure. I guess let's start with the parking deck. It's coming along nicely. If you've been over by the site, you've seen a lot of underground work and foundation kind of work happening; some walls going up. Most of that foundation work and underground work below that parking deck is finishing up this week, and we will be transitioning to the phase of actually bringing the parking deck up from the ground this week.

If you remember from previous podcasts, the parking deck is being prefabricated off-site. So over the past few months, our subcontractor for that, Metromont, has been prefabricating all of the components of the parking deck; so helping design that, pouring the concrete panels, even pouring the bricks into the concrete panels. So everything is ready to go as soon as it comes off the truck. Over the next few weeks, you'll start to see those individual pieces from that parking deck coming onto the site and arriving in [crosstalk 00:01:40].

Dave Blanks: How big are they? Those must be really big trucks.

Matt Dull: They'll be really big trucks.

Dave Blanks: Like semis?

Matt Dull: Yes, semitrucks, probably from front to end, around 100 feet long trucks with each one of these panels, probably going to be about 10 to 12 of those trucks a day. That's what the contractor is estimating for us. They'll be bringing those panels up the mountain, bringing them on-site. They will be craned off the trailers of the trucks and actually installed same day. It will look like a parking deck over the next six to eight weeks, so it should be pretty exciting on campus as students are wrapping up classes and moving into exams and graduation. That parking deck will be coming up out of the ground and really be finalized over the summer. Hopefully when students are back here this fall, and as we start football season this fall, that parking deck will be operational with 477 parking spaces.

That would be simply amazing. I wish End Zone cam had a wider angle.

Parking deck components are being staged in a vacant lot off US 421 across from Discovery Chevrolet right before you get to the city limits.

Wow. It's definitely going up fast!

[Saint3333]

How many levels will it be?

[sixtoes9134]

It looks as if there will be parking spaces below and in front of the deck and perhaps an entry on the right side?

Will there be elevators and bathrooms in the parking deck?

[sixtoes9134]

I doubt there will be bathrooms, but I feel like elevators are required. Stadium lot always has porto potties. Now if they would get some dang porto potties stationed at the base of the Library Deck that would be huge.

[DaphneUrquhart]

Will there be elevators and bathrooms in the parking deck?

The ADA requires elevators in multi-story structures.

Bathrooms are not required, and don't make sense, in a parking deck. Yes, I know we have 6 (7) home games a year. That doesn't hold a candle to maintaining those bathrooms the other 359 (358) days a year.

[eggers76]

But no bathrooms might increase the health risk of someone getting “uromycetisis” from holding it in too long.

[ASU3432Mi]

Exactly Jerry!
