Donley’s provided services on the Rappahannock River Parking Deck on the George Mason University campus in Fairfax, VA. The original project design our team proposed featured a reduced footprint to provide maximum space for future academic buildings, while being able to house 1,663 vehicles (13 more than the RFP required) on five levels.

The facility was designed to accommodate a future expansion of equal length and height, thereby maximizing efficiency. During the design process, in consideration of the university’s parking needs and the overall cost benefits, this three-bay expansion was approved to proceed along with the initial construction. Donley’s was awarded this expansion, which brought the deck’s total square footage to 862,000 SF and capacity to 2,618 vehicles.

A 17,000 SF police and safety headquarters building is adjacent to the parking deck and serves as the central reporting hub for all emergency calls on campus.
