Shady Grove Garage
Donley’s provided concrete services for the Shady Grove Garage on the Universities at Shady Grove campus in Rockville, MD, which is part of the University System of Maryland. The building occupies a strategic corner of the USG campus. As such, the parking structure was carefully placed on this constrained site so that it allowed a significant foreground towards the prominent intersection, while using a portion of the existing campus entrance for vehicular access to the first level. The siting also provided ample room along the southern and northern façades for site improvements and landscaping. The relocation of Gudelsky Drive was also included in this project’s scope of work.
The Shady Grove Garage facility employs numerous sustainable design elements and techniques, reflecting the university’s commitment to sustainability. Visible to the public are solar panels as parking shades along the roof. The parking deck was the one of the first designs submitted to the Green Parking Council to achieve certification through the new rating system that took effect in March 2014.
