Clark Pacific Manufactures and Constructs Sacramento State’s First Parking Structure to Earn Parksmart Gold Recognition

Resilient, sustainable parking structure constructed in just over 10 months is the first University to receive gold status

 

 

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 16, 2021  — Clark Pacific, a leading provider of prefabricated systems that are transforming building design and construction, today announced Sacramento State’s Parking Structure 5 has earned Parksmart Gold Recognition. Parking Structure 5 is a 1,750-stall, six-story example of modern construction innovation, from its cooling white interior and technical amenities, to the dozens of green aluminum “leaves” that pay homage to the University’s urban forest.

Sacramento State is the first university in the country to achieve Parksmart Gold, the only rating system for parking structures that promotes sustainable mobility through smarter design and operation. Collaboration with Clark Pacific, a longtime partner to the University, and using its prefabricated building systems were critical to delivering the project within budget and significantly faster, with far less campus impact than conventional systems.

“Sustainability, innovation, determination and teamwork were key factors contributing to Parking Structure 5’s designation as a Parksmart Gold certified project,” said Tony Lucas, associate vice president for business and administrative services at Sacramento State. “Those factors are a part of the Sacramento State DNA and guide our stewardship of precious resources. The certification is testimony to Sacramento State’s commitment to a sustainable environment.”

Nearly all structural components and façade elements were fabricated by Clark Pacific off-site and transported to the site to be erected. When the project gained approvals and permits to begin construction, approximately 90 percent of fabrication was already complete. Using a progressive design-build method and precast elements, the project was finished in just over 10 months. Additionally, transportation of prefabricated pieces was completed during off-hours, ultimately limiting the overall amount of construction traffic on campus created by the project. Off-site manufacturing removed over 5,700 worker days from the jobsite, reducing commuter impacts by over 10,000 car trips, as well as parking and site impacts the campus would have encountered with a conventional construction method.

“This certainly isn’t the norm for parking structures and we all have a lot to be proud of in achieving Parksmart Gold,” said Erik Winje, preconstruction manager for Clark Pacific. “Hats off to Sacramento State for sticking to its sustainability vision and to Dreyfuss + Blackford for a design well done.”

Clark Pacific Launches Parking Configurator, a Rapid Design Tool for Prefabricated Parking Structures

Streamlined design process ensures early alignment, allows owners to easily move forward with a prefabrication strategy

 

 

 

SACRAMENTO, June 11, 2019 – Clark Pacific, a leading provider of prefabricated systems that are transforming building design and construction, announced today that PARC, its single-sourced solution for pre-engineered parking structures, now features PARC Configurator, a rapid design tool that meets owner-driven requirements and objectives with conceptual parking structure designs based on Clark Pacific’s proven standards and prefabrication strategies.

 

PARC delivers a 700+ stall parking structure in under six months, prepared pad to beneficial use, and moves over 2,200 man-days off-site – numbers unmatched with traditional design and construction delivery methods. With the addition of PARC Configurator, designers and owners can rapidly test and compare different designs, structural schemes and concepts, get instant feedback and adjust parameters such as floor height, building length/width and parking geometrics to determine the most efficient design in compliance with owner and jurisdictional requirements.

 

“The configurator is the next step in the evolution of PARC, allowing for rapid iterations that validate and optimize the structure design,” said Farid Ibrahim, product manager of parking solutions for Clark Pacific. “With this configurator, we further reduce risk and accelerate the design-build process for owners.”

 

PARC configurator provides a complete structure design that ties into estimating for a real-time rough order of magnitude (ROM) and simplifies prefabricated parking structure design to bring projects to life with greater efficiency and collaboration, and far less risk. With PARC Configurator designers and owners can:

 

 

  • Easily incorporate prefabricated building strategies from project conception.
  • Increase design efficiency while leveraging standards and best practices.
  • Quickly design efficient layouts that meet project goals with a collaborative interface leveraging the best of technology and people.
  • Accelerate the learning curve of designing for prefabrication.
  • Deliver a more comprehensive design during the conception phase to ensure goals are on target.

Brings benefits of prefabricated and off-site manufactured construction to owners, without risk

 

 

 

SACRAMENTO, October 4, 2017 – Clark Pacific, a leader in the design, manufacturing and construction of prefabricated building systems, today announced Clark PARC, the industry’s first and only pre-engineered parking structure solution specifically designed for prefabrication. Clark PARC provides owners and developers with a single source for the design, manufacture and construction of parking structures with reliable cost and schedule certainty.

 

 

A complete turn-key solution, Clark PARC brings the benefits of off-site construction directly to owners with a pre-engineered parking structure. Clark Pacific will deliver a 700+ stall Clark PARC parking structure in under six months, groundbreaking to beneficial use, moving over 2,200 man-days off-site – numbers unmatched by traditional design and construction.

“There is clear market demand among owners who want take advantage of the cost and schedule certainty that comes with precast and off-site construction but are apprehensive about where to start with an off-site strategy, “said Farid Ibrahim, director of product innovation. “Optimized for prefabrication by our in-house experts, Clark PARC takes risk out of the equation so owners and designers can enjoy the benefits of off-site construction for their parking projects.”

Prefabricated parking structures offer a multitude of benefits over traditional construction, such as schedule and cost certainty, increased safety and higher quality. Clark PARC provides designers with a starting point – a complete system design that can be used as is, or customized as needed, making it easy to deliver the added value and cost savings of prefabricated parking structures to owners.

Clark PARC, the lowest cost and fastest speed-to-market parking structure design solution on the market, will be available October 9th and includes a 5-year warranty on the structure. For more information visit www.clarkpacific.com.
