Winchester-based Howard Shockey & Sons Inc. is building a 158,000-square-foot parking garage for the National Conference Center in Loudoun County. The center is the nation’s largest residential training center, with 917 guest rooms and 250 meeting rooms.
The new 493 space, three-level parking garage will be located directly across from the front entrance of the main building.
“The National Conference Center is a busy campus, and we want to make the construction phase as easy and as painless as possible,” Scott Kimble, project manager with Howard Shockey & Sons, said in a statement. “We are working closely with the staff to ensure that their guests are not inconvenienced, do not feel any impact, and are quickly rerouted to available parking.”
According to Kimble, the structure should begin to take shape by mid-summer and is scheduled for completion by December.
Shockey also is adding an at-grade parking lot, with an additional 150 spaces, to make it easier for guests to check in, as well as improving some of the access roads at the center.
The project owner is Oxford Capital Partners Inc. of Lansdowne.
