The Tanforan Park Shopping Center parking structure posed several significant design challenges to CKC.  The program included a major cinema above the parking structure, deflection and vibration requirements for the cinema were stringent, and the project site is adjacent to a major seismic fault.

CKC met these challenges head on.  The structure was designed to both accommodate the heavy cinema loads and minimize the transfer of vibration from parking levels to the theatres above.  By working closely with the contractor, CKC minimized forming and other cost impacts associated with the complex framing.  For seismic design, shear walls were located around the stairs and other vertical shafts.  Grade beams carry the shear walls and integrate seismic and vertical load carrying systems.

Two skybridges, for which CKC also provided structural design, connect the parking structure to the mall.
