IAA was a critical member of the design team along with BNIM and JE Dunn to oversee the design and construction of the new 7-level, 6,200+ parking space garage serving the new KCI Airport Terminal. Sustainable features include a 2,500 linear foot, 510 modules, and 150.0 kW photovoltaic array system installed on the south elevation. Sixty-two electrical charging stations have been installed for visitors parking their vehicles, along with a wireless bus charging system - the first of its kind at a U.S. airport. The wireless bus charging systems are installed at the garage's drop-off lane and allow the airport's new electric bus fleet to charge while parking over the charging pads, dropping off passengers.
The 2,250,000 SF garage structure is precast concrete. Perforations in the precast provide natural ventilation through the garage and an active façade as the sunlight moves throughout the day. On the north and west elevations, 12'-0" tall by 6'-0" wide translucent shingled laminated glass panels cover the façade, which glows at night as vehicles circulate behind them. The north façade has RGB linear lighting integrated within the shingled glass panels, providing an active entrance into the Terminal Elevated Roadway. The east elevation contains a white precast concrete colonnade, with the speed ramps directly behind for vehicles to traverse quickly and safely between the seven parking-stages levels.
