LEED Friendly Parking Garage


Although an environmentally sensitive garage might seem an oxymoron, Moore Ruble Yudell Architects has built a stunner for the Santa Monica Civic Center that is actually LEED-certified. Pre-cast ribbed concrete panels and multicolored glass bays conceal the cars and create a light, luminous quality for the viewer. On the roof, photovoltaic panels accentuate the skyline and provide all of the building's energy needs.
