The new nine-story, 2,000 stall, post-tensioned Parking Structure is a part of a new Mixed-Use Development for the Cleveland VA Medical Center at Wade Park. The project developed by Veterans Development, LLC also included a new Office Building, new Bridge Connectors, a new VOA Domiciliary, and Sitework. KAI developed the design for the five major elements of the Project with a consistent theme to provide a "campus" type setting amidst the historic Cleveland neighborhood.
The urban project site is located next to the main campus of the VA Hospital in Cleveland and is within both the East Boulevard Historic District and the Landmarks Commission District of Cleveland. A portion of the site abuts Rockefeller Park to the west and a residential district to the north. The Kaczmar Team attended many public meetings and worked closely with adjoining residents, property stakeholders and the governing design review agencies to incorporate suggestions for the design to assure a Project that respects the historical design context and enhances the vitality of the neighborhood.
