Watry Design Principal David LoCoco and Senior Project Manager Michael Johnson will be part of a panel exploring mechanical and automated parking solutions and how they can clear developmental hurdles. They'll walk you through The Douglas Apartments, a development in Kansas that solved challenges posed by budgetary restraints and height restrictions by implementing a mechanical lift system that provides nearly three times the amount of parking over what could have been achieved in the same area by traditional methods.

Principal John Purinton and Associate Principal Michael Pendergrass will be on hand as part of a panel dedicated to parking technology and its impact on the passenger experience at the new San Diego International Airport Terminal 2 Parking Plaza. Discover how parking guidance, adaptable PARCS systems and mobile app integration are taking the stress out of flying.

We'll see you there!
