In order to meet the parking needs at Utrecht Science Park, it has been decided to expand the P-Olympos parking facility. A four-storey above-ground parking garage will be built on the current Olympos car park which can accommodate 320 cars. The expansion is in line with the ambition to make the city centre area car-free with more space for cyclists and pedestrians. As of Wednesday 21 April the car park will be out of use and we will start the construction work. These are expected to last until mid-November 2021.

Modular and circular

The parking garage will be built in a modular way. This means that the building will be dismantled at the end of its life and rebuilt at a different location. This will take a maximum of 15 years. For the gabions on the ground floor, circular concrete from the Willem C. Van Unnik building will be used.

Energy-producing

The garage will have 840 solar panels, making it the first building at Utrecht Science Park to generate more electricity than it uses. Part of the power generated by the car park will be used directly to power the charging stations installed in the garage. Initially, there will be 48 charging spots. Later, this may be expanded to 72 spots. LED lighting and an energy-efficient elevator will also be used.
