Sunset Swim Center Pervious Parking Lot

Beaverton, OR

A sustainable pavement solution replaces over 30,000-sf of worn-out asphalt for users of the swim center and the adjacent Sunset High School.

About this Project

Pervious pavement replaced over 30,000-sf of worn-out asphalt to create a more sustainable and functional parking lot. 3J worked closely with Tualatin Riverkeepers to decreased the impervious footprint and add new trees and landscaping to the parking lot. The pervious concrete material now allows all rainwater to soak directly into the ground, reducing runoff to the sewer system. The paler surface also reduces the heat island effect. 3J designed landscaped islands to restrict heavy vehicle movement in half the parking lot, which allowed a thinner section of concrete to be used and decreased overall costs.
