At the 2021 Southwest Parking and Transportation Association (SWPTA) conference, Walker accepted two awards of excellence on behalf of our clients.

Arizona State University’s Novus Parking Garage was awarded Best Parking Structure.

The Manhattan Regional Airport and Walker were honored with the Award of Excellence for Innovative Use of Parking Technology.

For this project, paid parking was implemented to fund the landside capital improvements. Without paid parking, the project would not have been viable. In addition to designing the PARCS, Walker developed a financial model to understand the potential revenues paid parking would provide to support the project.

Watch the video below to learn how Walker Consultants and the Manhattan Regional Airport used parking access and revenue control technology, coupled with research-backed parking pricing policy, to fund a much-needed $3.2 million investment in the airport’s parking infrastructure.

Introducing Perq, a pre-designed, pre-engineered, customizable parking product from Walker Consultants and Swinerton

Perq is a pre-designed, pre-engineered, customizable parking solution that’s sold to customers as a product. Perq was co-developed by Walker Consultants, one of the largest Parking Consulting and Engineering firms in the nation, and ENR’s Top 20 national General Contractor, Swinerton.

Perq is an innovative solution created out of a passion for problem-solving. With a need for a simplified parking facility, Walker and Swinerton joined as industry leaders to create a single-sourced line of products that deliver quality, predictability, and speed. Walker and Swinerton teams have spent the last two years combining each companies’ fundamental ideas of success, grounded in over a century of combined performance and knowledge, to innovate the parking structure process.

As a result, Perq is a first-of-its kind product that defines innovation and partnership in the design and construction industry. Once clients reach out to the Perq team for a parking product, a Perq representative will walk them through a user interface portal that recommends Perq models to optimize site dimensions or requirements, like stall count.

“After extensive research of parking projects over the last 25 years, we developed Perq leveraging standard components and dimensions that will yield ruthless efficiency while providing the quality, predictability, and speed-to-market our client’s projects can depend on,” said Casey Wagner, Walker Consultants Executive Vice President.

“We can deliver a parking solution that’s pre-designed and pre-engineered, meaning it’s ready to manufacture and build after a Perq model is chosen. The Perq solution will make clients lives a little bit easier when they need to build their projects, as this product can save clients up to 10 months of time compared to a traditional design-build delivery,” said Brian McCarthy, Swinerton Vice President and Division Manager.
