Mickey Ramps It Up

—From “Building America” on the National Building Museum’s Web site: “The Car and Its Impact on the Built Environment: Disney Resort Guest Parking Garage, Anaheim, California.”

Designed by Wolf Architects, Disney's new parking garage in Anaheim, California, is the largest in the world—a structure as long as New York’s 77-story Chrysler Building would be if laid on its side. The building can hold 10,500 cars. Vehicles enter at a rate of 60 per minute, accessing the garage’s entrance ramp directly from Interstate 5.
