PARK CITIES BAPTIST CHURCH
Parking Design
Project
DeShazo Group was retained to develop the functional parking design for an advanced, underground “smart” parking garage for Park Cities Baptist Church. As the second garage in the region to implement this type of parking technology—after DFW International Airport’s Terminal D garage—the system simplifies navigation and enhances the overall visitor experience.
