Background

The Central Garage is one of two

structures, together with the West

Garage, that comprise the Airport

Central Parking Facility. The main

vehicular entrance to the Central

Garage is through Level 1 of the West

Garage. The precast concrete Central

Garage structure consists of eight levels,

which are labeled G, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and

7. The Central Garage is connected to

the West Garage by nine bridges, two

bridges on Levels 3 and 4, and one

bridge on each of Levels 1, 2, 5, 6 and

7. Vehicles may leave the Central

Garage by crossing any bridge to the

West Garage (although garage signage

directs vehicles to the Central Garage’s

Level 2 to exit). Vehicles within the West Garage may use a helical ramp at Level 2 to exit. All structures

associated with fee collection for the West and Central Garages are located within the West Garage.

The Central Garage has a parking capacity of approximately 7,000 cars that is open to the public 24 hours

per day, seven days per week. Additionally, there is an entrance accessible to the public for parking

purposes via the Arrivals roadway opposite Terminal C, as well as one entering the Central Garage on its

north face. The vertical clearance of the Central Garage is designated as 6’-10”.

The Ground Level has served as a rideshare pickup/drop-off since October of 2019. As part of Massport’s

TNC (Transportation Network Companies) initiatives, further modifications to the garage have since been

made to increase flow through the Ground Level with several additional points of access/egress opened in

the façade.

History

The original Central Garage was constructed in

1966 and included a ground level, an

intermediate level and a roof level. In 1969 two

additional deck levels were added to the original

garage, Level 4 and Level 5, with Level 5

becoming the new roof. During the early years

of the Central Garage, all ticket dispensing and

toll collection took place outside the garage at

the main entrance west of the garage. In 1970

the construction of the Air Traffic Control

(ATC) Tower was completed and a portion of

the garage was removed. In the center east face

of the garage a 200 foot wide and 65-foot-

deep section of the Central Garage was

removed for the placement and construction of

the ATC Tower. Later the area between the

2

REV: 05-14-2025

tower and the garage was enclosed by

a Level 3 deck and intermediate level

concrete beams on the first and second

level. In 1998, the Central Garage toll

plaza was removed and replaced with

a seven level West Garage. At this

time the Central Garage’s five parking

levels were re-named to match the

parking levels in the West Garage.

The Central Garage’s lowest level was

designated Level G, the next level was

renamed Level 1 with Level 4

becoming the new roof level.

In 2007, a vertical expansion project

for the Central Garage was

completed. This expansion included three additional parking deck levels constructed on top of the

existing Central Garage, a new exterior façade, new elevators, new stairwells, the replacement of the 1966

Double-Tee beams on the two lowest parking decks, improved signage and graphics, and improved

pedestrian circulation with all pedestrian transfers at Level 4. The effort to add three decks on top of the

existing Central Garage required internal and external columns to be placed in and around the existing

Central Garage. The new exterior columns were the framework for the new façade and allowed closure

panels/decks to be installed to the existing lower decks. The new internal columns are supported on

piles and pass through holes in the existing parking levels to support the new decks above. The difference

in deck elevations for the existing parking levels is approximately 10 feet and the three additional decks

have a difference in elevation of 12 feet from level to level. The northeast and southeast stairwells have

three elevators, a lobby on each floor and a Level 4 pedestrian connection via bridges to Terminals A, B

and C.

Construction

The layout of the Central Garage is

rectangular, approximately 750 feet by 500

feet, with its major axis running north-south.

The Central Garage building grid/column lines

are numbered from north to south as 1 through

30 and are labeled alphabetically from east to

west as A through J. The structure’s original

columns are generally located on the whole

number gridlines and the upper-level addition

columns are located at intermediate gridlines.

For Levels 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7, the parking structure

is supported by a network of Inverted-Tee

conventionally reinforced concrete girders and

Double-Tee prestressed concrete beams. The

main girders/Inverted-Tees run north and south along the alphabetized column lines of the garage. The

Double-Tee beams run east to west and are supported on the main girders with the stem of the Double-

Tee cast with a dapped end where they bear on the main girder. The support girders on deck Levels 3

and 4, which consist of the original girders installed in 1969, are segmented girders consisting of a top

3

REV: 05-14-2025

flange and two rectangular concrete stems

linked by concrete diaphragms opposite

haunches that extend beyond the outside of the

girder to act as bearing seats for the Double-Tee

beams.

The garage façade, constructed after 2007, has

closure panels that linked the older decks with

the outer façade. In the upper levels

constructed after 2007, the decks extend

directly to the spandrel beams of the new

façade. On the spandrel beams there are

haunches that provide support for the Double-

Tee beam against the façade.

In the center of the structure, there are ramps

that provide vehicular access from level to level. There are two ramps on each level providing a counter-

clockwise circulation for vehicles to move up and a clockwise circulation to move down a level. From

Level G to Level 3, the ramps have a slope of approximately 5.5% and a width of 12 feet between their

parapet walls. From Level 4 to the roof, the ramps have a slope of approximately 6.6% and a width of 16’

3” between their parapet walls. The ramp vertical clearances for Level G to Level 3 are 7’-3” and for Level

4 to Level 7 are 8’-6”.

Expansion joints in the deck are configured differently at each level. Levels 1 and 2 have expansion joints

on Column Lines 5, 9, 13, 15.5, 18, 22 and 26. Level 3 has expansion joints on Column Lines 5, 9, 13,

15.5, 18, 22, 26, E and G. Level 4 has expansion joints on Column Lines 5, 9, 13, 15.5, 18, 22, 26, C, E

and G. Levels 5 and 6 have expansion joints on Column Line 15.5. Level 7 has expansion joints on

Column Lines 7.5, 15.5, 23.5, and E.

The Central Garage has a stairwell and an elevator at each quadrant of the parking levels. The northwest

and southwest quadrants of the garage each contain a single elevator and a stairwell. The northeast and

southeast stairwells each contain multiple elevators and are connected to adjoining pedestrian bridges

connecting to Terminals A, B and C at Level 4.

Condition Assessment and Recent Repair Work

A structural condition assessment of the Central Garage was

completed in 2024. Recommendations from that report ranged from:

• Rehabilitation of the drainage system for the garage.

• Rehabilitation of many of the structural elements of the

garage, including:

o Repairs to girders;

o Repairs to columns;

o Repairs to beams;

o Repairs to decks (in particular, the decks on Levels

3 and 4);

o Repairs to expansion joints;
