Our knowledge of this specific building type will aid in the provision of Threshold Inspection services on this contract because we know the building type so well. ,., . . . Threshold Inspection Experience for Parking Garages City of Miami - Oak and Mary Parking Garage Oak Avenue Parking Plaza, a City of Miami owned and operated 404-car parking facility, was designed to harmonize with the unique characteristics that make Coconut Grove charming and special to South Floridians. The facility has approximately 16,730 square foot of retail shops at ground level. ~ . I . . Miami-Dade College - Kendall Campus Parking Garage The Parking Garage for the Center for the Humanities accommodates 750- cars in five levels, 15,000 square feet of ground level office space and a central utilities plant supporting the entire campus. The garage constitutes Phase I of a two phase Center for the Humanities. The parking garage utilizes a precast concrete structural system and skin. It is the first parking garage on the Kendall Campus. The Center for the Humanities Garage was sited to accommodate parking for the existing adjacent gymnasium and an athletic center. The facility was also designed to accommodate parking for a future 600-seat Kendall Community Theater in addition to the Center for the Humanities. Westland Hialeah Senior High School In order to accommodate the anticipated 2000+ student enrollment on a constricted 6.5 acre urban site in Hialeah, the footprint of the building program for Hialeah Westland High School was compacted to the maximum extent possible and involved the creative use of the site. AECOM's design for the building incorporates four Academic units, a Media Center, an Administration area, and a Cafeteria, all of which form a four-story bar building facing the most prominent street. The large entry void in the center of the bar connects this street with the central courtyard of the building, around which are arrayed all the major public programmatic pieces. The one-story Art and Music classrooms form a more intimate dining courtyard with the adjacent cafeteria. t n Ie C, 50 r.. .. .. .. Given the lack of available real estate, a Parking Deck was also a significant component of the building program. As part of a creative site design solution, the top deck above the parking structure provides the space for the Physical Education component of the program, which includes gymnasium, locker rooms, and basketball courts. n ( r C H'I 11 Ronald Hunt, PE, LEED™ AP Name of Firm Years With Current Firm Years With Other Firms Education Ie RegIstration JI Affiliations j' '1\ Mr. Hunt, the Engineering Director and Structural Engineering Principal at AECOM, has been with the firm for 35 years, and has 39 years of total experience.
