Morristown Memorial Hospital

Morristown, New Jersey

This project involved the design of a 4-story, 180,600 square foot parking garage for 562 cars on the existing Morristown Memorial Hospital campus in Morristown, NJ. The structure was constructed using pretopped, precast double tee floor construction with precast light walls and shear walls for lateral resistance.

The project was designed to be built in 2 phases, with the initial phase including only the first 2 stories. The second phase was also designed by our office and involved 2 additional stories that were planned for in the original construction.

After the structure was completed, a design was done to add an additional 44,000 square foot fifth story to accommodate another 140 cars. Since the original design did not contemplate this floor, our work included reinforcing the existing building foundations and lateral system for added gravity and seismic loads. This phase is currently under construction.
