Why does the P9 parking garage have to be demolished?

The P9 Parking garage was built in 1969. It will be 55 years old in 2024. The garage has been continually assessed and monitored by WSP (Williams Sale Partnership) Engineers since 2012. Engineering reports in 2020 called for its decommissioning in May 2024. This is supported by the continued maintenance requirements since then. The Board of Governors approved the demolition plan at its April 2023 meeting.
