Parking Solutions Competition
International Parking Institute
The International Parking Institute (IPI) Parking Solutions Competition is a design and development challenge that aims to engage with college students in a challenging real-world parking scenario. This year, competitors are asked to design the garage of the future, with a 10 to 20 year outlook.
From IPI:
"The urban landscape has changed rapidly due to demographics, demand for more livable places and communities, and transformative (and disruptive) technologies. In the face of all this change, parking structures will continue to play a critical role in our cities and towns – but the planning, design and construction will evolve. Therein lies our challenge, to address the form and function of the garage itself, and to craft more viable mobility solutions for the places we live, work, and play."
The competition entry deadline is February 23. We thought this might be in interesting opportunity to share with students and faculty in your units —it would be fantastic to see a UMD winner!
All the details are here.
