Abstract

Twenty buildings and 14 precast concrete parking structures make up the new Sprint World Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. Creating such a massive complex required close communication among trades and coordination of all design elements. The parking structures were designed using two basic plans, for a three- and four-bay layout, with the only variation coming in ramp access and first-floor designs due to the sloping grade across the campus. The design used pocketed spandrels to eliminate ledges around the structures' perimeters and clean, simple finishes with ribbed details to add interest. The 14 parking structures were completed in slightly more than three years. This article presents the design considerations and construction highlights of the project.
