Three storey high Vista Walls gives this parkade its distinctive facade.
Eastside Parkade, Winnipeg, MB
Exterior columns were positioned on a grid, with the lightweight Vista Wall panels centred between the columns. This simplified the structural arrangement and provided a high level of natural light, which provides important safety features for vehicular and pedestrian users.
Oversized double-tees provided column-free parking bays, which had the benefit of fewer pieces and subsequently fewer joints. The 100mm thick deck was cast integrally with the tees at the precast plant.
Built in spring, 1992, the parkade provides additional parking for St. Boniface Hospital. Precast erection went ahead despite heavy rain that would have affected other construction methods.
