McCarthy Building Companies Inc. will top out construction on the highly anticipated, new $22 million five-level, 282,000-square-foot South Stadium Parking Structure for the University of Arizona (UA) in Tucson, Ariz., later this month.
Upon completion in August, the garage will have 915 parking spaces, restoring parking spaces that have been used for campus development of new residence halls, athletic/recreation areas, and other buildings on the southern part of campus. The garage is located south of 6th Street, near student housing and athletic facilities. Last semester, for the first time in a decade, UA sold all available on-campus parking permits, making the opening of this garage very timely.
“Parking & Transportation Services’ goal is to maintain the number parking spaces on campus,” said David Heineking, executive director of Parking & Transportation at the UA. “This strategically placed parking garage will help with traffic on regular school days and at athletic events because it is close to arterial streets on the perimeter of campus. I look forward to adding this structure to our parking inventory as a much needed resource for students, staff, faculty and visitors to campus.”
