Project Description

The goal of this project is to design a parking lot that will have available parking for the increasing demand of more trucks.

Project Location

The Purina Site Design Project is located on Nestle Purina Drive in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Project Constraints

Due to unforseen circumstances with the COVID-19 outbreak, th​e team is limited to in-person meetings and full experience of an engineering capstone.
