parking garages

Multi-level vehicle buildings

A parking garage is a building designed for parking vehicles, typically with multiple levels connected by ramps or elevators.

Also called a parking structure or parking deck.

Unlike surface lots, garages stack cars vertically to maximize space in dense urban areas: I found a spot on the third level of the parking garage.
