There are two levels for parking, an upper and a lower. The lower level of the parking structure is below grade and the upper level of the parking structure is at grade level. The foundation of the structure consists of spread footings under the concrete columns. The perimeter walls are supported off of strip footings. There are seven stairs with entrances to the lower level. The stairs and stairwell walls are conventionally reinforced concrete. Stairs U, V & T were part of the original parking garage construction and consisted of four flights and four landings of mild reinforced, cast in place concrete construction, elevated and spanning between stair core walls. Stairs R & W were added as part of the Peck and Bolton hall additions and consist of two flights of stairs and two landings, mild reinforced, cast in place, cast on grade concrete construction, with exterior foundation walls and integral cap bearing soils above. Stairs W, U, V, R, & T all have an integral waffle slab roof (above penthouse at plaza deck), and are enclosed by curtain wall. Stairs L&M are also part of the original construction and are located at the southern end of the garage going from grade to basement and are constructed of mild reinforced, cast in place, slab on grade construction. All stairs have either active or formerly active plumbing for snow-melt systems. The general scope of work as follows; Stairs L, M & T and the vehicle ramp will be demolished and replaced.
