Case Study: Google achieves future-ready parking flexibility with Gensler's Alta Garage design

Google future-proofs Alta Garage with Gensler to reduce embodied carbon impact

The customer, Google, required a parking structure near its Mountain View headquarters that could meet its current needs while also being adaptable for future uses as mobility trends and real estate requirements evolved. The vendor, Gensler, provided design services to create a flexible garage with future conversion potential.

Gensler's solution was the Alta Garage, designed with an adaptable core and shell and clad in a kinetic art facade. This strategic design provides the flexibility to support current parking needs while being prepared for future conversion, which helps increase future speed to market and reduces the project's embodied carbon impact. Gensler created a multi-use building that sets a new standard for future-proofed structures.
