Bhubaneswar: Work for the Saheed Nagar multi-level car parking (MLCP) has started
on Monday. The work is expected to be completed by January 2019.
Two MLCPs have been planned for the city. One at Saheed Nagar and the other one will
come up in Unit II area, and both will be under the Smart City Project.
The Multi-Level Car Parking building will consist of two basements, ground and higher floors. It will accommodate a minimum of 250 Equivalent Cars Space (ECS). All the floors
above the parking floors will be commercial floors covering around 38,000 Sq. ft. commercial saleable area. The building will have an energy efficient design for GRIHA 3-star certification. The building will be designed taking into consideration the accessibility and efficiency of vehicular movement for MLCP area in compliance with prevailing building standards, fire norms and structural standards. The building will be suitably designed for senior citizen, children, and differently abled people based on prevailing norms and standards. The building shall be equipped with intelligent building management system inclusive of emergency facilities, smart utilities etc. The provision for solar roof top power installation will be kept. The building facade shall be aesthetically attractive. The building envelope will be designed taking into consideration the thermal comfort and climatic conditions of Bhubaneswar.
The MLCP building in Unit II area is envisaged to have 450 Equivalent Car Space (ECS) in the two basements, ground floor as well as first, second and third floors. The three upper floors (4, 5 & 6) will be built as commercial spaces.
It may be mentioned here that both the MLCPs will be connected to the Intelligent City Operations and Management Centre (ICOMC) in future. ICOMC will work towards integrating all city operations through an integrated IT platform and people will be able to book parking space for their cars in advance, before starting their journey from home as in future the city might face difficulties from space crunch in parking lots.
