Parking structures can be both attractive and functional integrating creative exterior materials and patron-friendly areas, such as elevators, entry portals with efficient traffic circulation patterns, and durable building systems. Services include: architecture design; structural engineering; mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering; durability design; design-build project delivery

Lighting is one of the most critical systems in any parking facility for both drivers and pedestrians; and is a major contributor to providing a perception of safety and security.

Wayfinding is the ability to understand where you are and where you want to go. And in a parking facility, wayfinding is vitally important for both drivers and pedestrians.

In today's world, real estate markets are ever changing and so too is the parking world. With the coming of autonomous vehicles and on-demand transportation services, there is a continuing dialogue about future repurposing of parking structures. Walker is uniquely positioned to assist clients with tackling all the design variables and economics of adaptive-reuse that must occur early in the design process.

PARCS are key components of an efficient and effective parking operation.

Traffic microsimulation software provides the ability to visually represent predicted traffic behavior through 3D animation.

Walker's ability to implement sustainable design is rooted in over 50 years of design experience, providing structures that require less maintenance, are more durable, ultimately using less future material, and monetary resources.

Walker provides design-build services, either directly to the owner or part of the contractor's design team.

Automated Vehicle Storage/Retrieval Systems (AVSRS) are parking facilities that utilize computer-controlled, motorized vertical lifts or horizontal shuttles to transport vehicles without human assistance.

Oftentimes Walker is commissioned directly by clients to provide design guidance or conceptual parking design work alongside the project design team.

Functional design analyzes the program conditions such as street traffic, site configuration, number of vehicles to be parked, building codes, zoning requirements, environmental concerns, and the nature and character of the traffic generators.
