GLHN worked with the project owner and community stakeholders to position a utilitarian building as a canvas for public artwork.
As part of the Park Central Redevelopment, GLHN was the Architect and Engineer of Record for the Catalina Parking Structure that connects Park Central, Dignity Health’s headquarters, Creighton University and residential living. The design team worked closely with the owners, contractor, and stakeholders to develop an innovative, visually attractive and sustainable facility that met the established design theme. At 11-stories tall with 2,005 spaces, Catalina Parking Garage is the tallest parking structure in Arizona. The project included a public area along Catalina Drive connecting the parking garage with the Valley Metro Light Rail Station. This space includes decorative paving, landscaping, shading, seating, as well as an art mural and sculpture from local artists.
