Riverview Executive Parking Garage
Location: Trenton, NJ
Architect: The Hillier Group
Engineer: Desman Associates
General Contractor: Bovis Lend Lease, Inc.

The structure consists of 3 supported levels, 4 bays wide by 7 bays long with over 200,000 square feet of 15 foot wide double tees.  Three stair towers and a shear wall offset at the corners and helped to improve the typical drainage issues in those areas.  The 45 foot bay spacing on the load bearing sides and the introduction of key shear walls on the non-load bearing side of the exterior helped to maintain more consistent spandrel lengths.  This was essential to minimize changes to the micro ribbed formliner panels in the second and third level spandrels. 

Formed recessed arches with a different sandblast depth in the recess were introduced into the roof level spandrels.  The same concept was used at the entrances and to cap off the curtain wall in the main stair towers. Two separate column cover configurations were used throughout the façade to conceal the spandrel to column joints.  These column covers incorporated two separate thin-set brick colors above and below a lightly sandblasted water table.  

The addition of this 9000 square feet of purely architectural product has made this the outstanding parking structure in the area.
