State Street Parking Garage

The State Street parking garage was originally constructed by Christman (then Rentenbach) in 1979. Thanks to the success of that project, the City of Knoxville sought out the project team again in 2013 to complete an addition and infrastructure upgrades.

The parking deck was initially a three-level, slab-on-grade structure providing 842 parking spaces and 43,000 SF of retail space. This addition added 260,000 SF and 240 parking spaces. Additionally, structural modifications to meet seismic and life safety codes were addressed. Construction also included an elevated, covered walkway from the third level spanning State Street and traversing to the north sidewalk at Gay Street.
