Our Award-Winning Project Series continues with a look at the Center Street Parking Garage, a project that turned an outdated 1950s structure into a bold new landmark in Berkeley’s Arts District.
Completed in 2018, this 248,000 SF parking structure earned the 2019 Metal Architecture Magazine Judges’ Award for its unique design and creative use of metal. One of its most recognizable features is the “waving” perforated aluminum façade that gives the building its standout look.
California Sheet Metal was proud to help bring the project to life by fabricating and installing 12,000 SF of custom silver-perforated aluminum panels and 5,000 SF of red and lime-green aluminum soffit and exterior panels.
From design to installation, projects like this show what can happen when creativity, craftsmanship, and teamwork come together.
