The Giessen -Friedberg University of Applied Sciences has opened a parking garage on Giessen 's Ringallee, providing 125 new parking spaces. The site previously served as a parking lot. The capacity was increased by the construction of a second level, accessible via a ramp and, for pedestrians, via five sets of steps.

The self-supporting steel composite structure measures 200 by 15 meters. Due to the poor soil conditions, 58 bored piles, up to 15 meters long, had to be installed. The parking garage was built in six months for €1.67 million. The Hessian Construction Management (hbm) was responsible for planning, construction preparation, and construction supervision.

The university of applied sciences (FH) is required to provide approximately half of the new parking spaces for the building at the corner Ostanlageand Wiesenstraße, construction of which began a few weeks ago. The city made the land on Ringallee available to the university on the condition that all parking spaces remain free for public use.
