City Center Construction Update
The recently completed expansion of the City Center Parking Facility added an additional 1,000 parking spaces to downtown Oklahoma City. The new multi-structure garage and streetscape incorporates an architectural style compatible with nearby buildings and a skywalk, which links the two five-story structures. With steel gray cornice frames around the fifth level perimeter and foil-like roofs on the glass cased elevator towers, the City Center Garage was designed to blend well with surrounding architecture. Even so, the facility retains it’s own distinctive appearance. One unique element is the facility’s ramp screen located on the east side. The screen’s purpose is to obstruct the onlooker’s view of the concrete ramps. With programmable LED lights embedded in the screen, it becomes a work of art capable of displaying many colorful patterns.

The functionality of the facility is considered to be the most important element. Patrons will be close to the First Oklahoma Tower, Downtown Library, Union Bus Station, Colcord Building, County Courthouse, Leadership Square, Robinson Renaissance, Internal Revenue Services, Myriad Botanical Gardens, Stage Center, Cox Convention Center and Ford Center. Monthly, hourly and special event parking is available. With the expansion of Harvey Avenue, patrons can enter and exit the parking facility with ease. The facility also includes a well-lit walk-thru tunnel, emergency call boxes on each floor and an office located on the 1st floor closer to Park Avenue.

The City Center Parking Facility was designed by Architectural Design Group, Inc., the firm that envisioned the SBC Bricktown Ballpark, Nichols Hills Public School and Dobson Communications Corporate Headquarters. Lippert Brothers, Inc. is constructing this enhanced parking complex. LBI is not a stranger to downtown, they also built the Oklahoma City National Memorial, Crystal Bridge and Downtown Transit Center.
