In Progress Project – Cambridge

A previously dark and underutilized corner of the parking garage at a Cambridge pharmaceutical campus is being transformed into a bright, efficient, and secure bicycle parking area.  This small expansion of an existing fenced in corner will float into the space between the garage levels, a unique condition created by a level ceiling above and a sloped floor below.

Aside from providing organized and stable parking spaces for employees’ bicycles, the new enclosure will create a bright, secure, and safe area that will only continue to foster the company’s initiative for use of alternative transportation.
