MVP Healthcare

When MVP Health Plan had decided it was time to build a central facility with a parking garage, they turned to BBL Construction Services. The parking deck’s design served two purposes – first, it would not overshadow the neighboring church, second, stepping it down in conjunction to the street slope would create a streetscape-friendly facade. Architectural elements such as brick and colored concrete panels were used to create a harmonious union between MVP’s corporate headquarters and the parking structure. Screening louvers were utilized on the State St side of the structure to create a more visually appealing facade. Tight site conditions merited two separate entrances/exits to create traffic flow patterns that would minimize congestion during peak traffic hours. Construction of this project was difficult due to site constraints in a busy downtown area and dramatic grade changes. A deep caisson foundation system was necessary due to poor subsurface site conditions.
