Health Care
The Health Care industry is in a transitional period. The United States has been the world leader providing premier cutting-edge quality of care for many years, but as the world economy is changing, so is the face of health care provision in the states. Health Care executives are dealing with changing financial burdens and shifts in health care standards. Parking is a constant and persistent issue for health care campuses nationwide but is repeatedly ignored for what is commonly deemed as “more pressing issues.” In the presence of the parking denial is a need for the campus to grow, allowing for more patients, more staff, all on a shrinking campus footprint and budget, adding further pressure to parking problems. These are the stories we at SPS hear on a weekly basis - they are not unique nor are they arbitrary.
How can hospital campuses be strategically positioned in this post-reform era to meet its increasing demand and associated revenue potential? One answer is to optimize the campus’s carrying capacity to flexibly respond to post-reform market opportunity. This is achieved through a capacity-based campus planning process. Simply stated, this approach to site planning establishes a campus’s ultimate development capacity and maximizes its remaining real estate build-out options.
Typically, the main competitors for a campus’s limited real estate are revenue generating facilities that are needed to deliver services and convenient parking for automobile-dependent service providers and patients/guests. Enhancing campus revenue potential is directly correlated with the amount of profit-producing buildable area and allowable density in relation to appropriately located, sized, and phased parking capacity. Identifying this is the objective of capacity-based campus planning. While this is a novel approach for hospital campus master planning, it is a time-tested approach for developing site constrained real estate and is especially appropriate for increasing the income potential on hospital campuses during times of flux and uncertainty.

College / University
Educational institutions are facing new challenges every day. All institutions are addressing varying needs pertaining to student enrollment; most schools are facing a demand increase for on-campus housing. Many campuses struggle to provide adequate parking spaces for students on their own, which in turn forces students to pay exorbitant parking violation fees. With these pressures, school management is struggling to keep the demand needs in check and at the same time satisfy their faculty and students. Toss into the mix athletics, accreditation boards, and other ancillary department’s needs, the administrators find their hands full.
In most cases education administrators have much more pressing issues, which is where Structured Parking Solutions can help. Educators understand pressures from lack of safe, secure, and well-placed parking for their campuses. They also truly understand the danger of not addressing these needs. Administrators know they must guard precious bonding capacity for non-revenue development projects. These are the very reasons SPS excels in parking solutions for educational campuses. With our vertical approach to parking development, we bring the team approach to parking solutions. Our total solution team is in place to help you turn your parking liabilities into an asset for your campus.
Municipal / Governmental
Competition and Concessions - these are the two words city and government leaders hear more today than ever before. Companies, industries, and developers are pitting cities against each other to see what offerings one city will provide vs. another for their business. In the meantime, cities need to grow and there is available federal money to help attract intercity growth. Cities seldom think about parking infrastructure needs until it is a problem or until it is a demand for growth and re-development needs.
Municipal parking areas are the first and last impression a visitor has of a city. When businesses are considering locations within a city, questions pertaining to schools, neighborhoods, and infrastructure items like parking are at the top of their lists. Structured Parking Solutions (SPS) understands these challenges and excels in solving City parking issues.

Development and construction processes are quickly evolving today. With focus shifting towards sustainability, and conservation, developers are more sensitive to these needs than ever before. Parking is also critically important to the success of all development projects, whether it is an office building, multi-family development, commercial, retail, or industrial project.
When conservation needs are combined with parking needs and high land costs, many times the answer is vertical parking. Structed parking has become cheaper, more efficient, and aesthetically pleasing through new manufacturing techniques and materials. These new techniques have allowed parking decks to fit sustainability requirements perfectly through conservation of land, decreased storm water run-off, decreased lighting costs, decreased levels of community heat domes, and decreased vehicular emissions.
