The Texas A&M University community returned to campus this fall to find a new parking structure located on the northeast corner of the campus in College Station, TX. The Polo Road Garage is a 1,680-space, 5-level structure with an attached food court, recreation center, and office space for the University\u2019s Transportation Services department. The garage was constructed on an existing surface parking facility adjacent to Texas A&M\u2019s Emerging Technologies Building.<\/p>\n

Working in conjunction with the prime architect, PGAL (Houston, TX), Blake Hodge, P.E.<\/strong> (Frisco, TX), led Kimley-Horn\u2019s parking team to develop the master planning, programming, parking schematic design, and final construction drawings. Chris Harris, P.E.<\/strong> (Bryan\/College Station, TX), led Kimley-Horn\u2019s civil team, providing traffic impact analysis and civil engineering design for the demolition of the existing surface parking area, new storm drainage, water and sanitary sewer utilities, grading and paving\u2014 including the reconstruction of Polo Road\u2014and construction phase services for the approximate 9-acre site.<\/p>\n

The Polo Road Garage is one of nine new parking facilities recommended in the University\u2019s 2017 Campus Maser Plan<\/a>. The garage opened to parking in August while the remainder of the building is anticipated to be completed in early 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have this state-of-the-art parking facility open and available for use by our community,\u201d said Texas A&M Transportation Services Associate Vice President Peter Lange. \u201cWe are confident Polo Road Garage is the next step in delivering the ultimate parking experience to our customers and are thankful to the Kimley-Horn team for their exceptional work on this project. We had a critical timeline to open the garage for the fall semester, and because of their hard work and commitment to excellence, we hit that target.\u201d<\/p>\n
