14. Covina Downtown Parking Structure
Covina, California
The City of Covina is in need of additional parking to serve the show-goers from the
Playhouse, a nearby musical performance center. Watry Design, Inc. was selected as the
architects, parking planners, and structural engineers to design a multi-level parking structure
located on an existing surface parking lot, across the street from City Hall. The design
objective for the Downtown Parking Structure is to reflect the essence of the downtown

The site’s architectural context includes close proximity to the early California-style City
Hall, a Victorian- style housing project, the Playhouse and the storefronts along Citrus
Avenue. Including its well-executed later additions, the strongest architecture belongs to City
Hall. The building represents the quality, longevity and historic fabric that make Covina a
special and distinctive place to live and work. The new parking structure will be constructed
on College Street, one block from CitrusAvenue and one block from Badillo Street.The site is
approximately 113.5' by 175' and is bound on the west and south by public alleys.An express
ramp will provide vehicular circulation between levels for the three level building, which will
provide 124 parking stalls. The structural system is post-tensioned, cast-in-place moment
frame concrete construction. The stair tower is prominently featured on the northwest corner
of the building, and features a glass-backed elevator with landscaping along the sidewalk.
