George Washington Auto Park

Description
The George Washington Auto Park is composed of 140,000 square feet of double tees. Double tees, stairs, columns, inverted tee beams, rectangular fascia, ramp walls and stair/elevator walls were all produced in Shockey Precast Groups Winchester, Virginia plant. The location near the newly renovated George Washington Hotel in the heart of historic downtown Winchester made it necessary for the parking structure to blend into the surrounding architecture. The exterior features thin brick panels with architectural buff light sandblast accents and gray from liner panels in the shape of stones. This project is one of the first to use the C-GRID® manufacturing process for the production of the double tees by Shockey Precast Group. This process uses carbon fiber reinforcing in the flanges of the double tee.
