    (UMT. Lahore, 2025) Muhammad Sher Afghan; Muhammad Shaharyar; Talha Akhtar; Summama Zafa
    The increasing number of vehicles on university campuses has created significant challenges related to parking management, spatial utilization, and pedestrian safety. This report covers the structural design of a two-story underground parking facility at the University of Management and Technology (UMT), aimed at addressing current and future parking demands while preserving surface-level green spaces for recreational and academic use. The proposed structure accommodates up to 976 vehicles across two basement levels and is located near the southern gate of the UMT Greens area to optimize accessibility and minimize interference with the existing campus infrastructure. A comprehensive multi-phase approach was undertaken, including site surveys, transportation planning, and structural analysis. The structural design adheres to ASCE and ACI 318-19 standards. Functional layout decisions such as 45 degrees angled parking one-way circulation patterns and modular stall configurations. PCI 129-15 design manual is used referring level of service C, offering a balanced trade-off between comfort and space efficiency.
