Scope Of Work
Epic was selected to provide Construction Manager services for the City of Camden Parking Authority’s Block N Parking Garage. Collaborating with designer Tim Haahs, the parking lot was built at the intersection of Federal Street and Broadway in the heart of Camden’s business district. The garage provides parking for approximately 742 cars, comprised of an on-grade level and 5 supported levels. Vehicles enter the garage primarily by way of an entry/exit portal on Hudson Street, with an additional entry-only point on Broadway. There are two stair and elevator towers, the larger one in the northwest corner serving City Hall and the new Rutgers School of Nursing, and the smaller tower in the southeast corner serving the Transit Station.
Operationally, the garage closes in the evenings after 8pm, except during special events, such as concerts or city festivals. The ground level of the garage provides approximately 20,000 sf of retail/office space, with 2,000 sf already dedicated to a pizza restaurant that had formerly occupied a building on the site. The building is situated on the site so that the sidewalk along Broadway will be fairly wide to encourage public gathering and outdoor dining.
