Construction on the $42 million 429,000-square-foot Mill Avenue Parking Structure for Arizona State University in Tempe has been completed.
The six-level structure is located at 951 S. Mill Ave. in Tempe, east of Mill Avenue between 9th and 10th streets, a press release explained.
The new parking structure, a design-build partnership between DFDG Architecture and general contractor McCarthy Building Companies Inc., adds 1,205 parking spaces to the busy area and provides designated valet parking for the Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU, as well as for events at the Nelson Fine Arts Center and Gammage Auditorium.
For several years, work was completed to transform the Block 22/27 portion of the university from a low-density and under-utilized piece of the campus, explained Alexander Kohnen, ASU’s vice president of facilities development and management, in the release.
“This parking garage will allow members of the university community and visitors alike to take advantage of the new facilities we have created on the Block,” Kohnen stated.
