LA GUARDIA PARKING AND TERMINAL FRONTAGE STRUCTURE

The selection of construction materials and, therefore, a structural system, hinged on the concept of exposed steel throughout the open air building. A system of braced main frames combining the benefits of plastic and composite design was chosen as the most economical framing system. Erection was aided by the use of fabricated structural "trees" for the "facade." The contract also included concrete helical ramps, elevated roadways, enclosed pedestrian bridges, and other traffic control and access facilities.
