“Certainly, speed of construction was a key reason we chose precast,” says Brad Navarro, director of operations at Walker Parking Consultants, who designed the parking structure.
The precast design provided a number of benefits, including flexibility and aesthetic versatility. The precast concrete design features a total-precast concrete structure and several contrasting finishes.
First-floor portions of the casino extend into the parking area, requiring additional attention to separate functions. The new Rivers Casino & Resort in Schenectady, New York, sits so close to the adjacent precast concrete parking structure that the two overlap.
