This project includes the new five-level, 596 car Post Street parking garage, which is a precast concrete structure with a rooftop helipad, and two additional levels for 220 cars atop the existing Rehill parking deck. The Post Street garage is constructed with an environment-friendly storm water collection system, which includes an oil separator that collects oil and other automotive fluids to prevent flow into the borough’s storm water collection system.
The ground level of the Post Street garage is reserved for patients in the new Emergency Department. The basement and upper levels are for employee parking, to add to the space available in the Rehill Avenue parking deck for additional patients and visitors.
