Designed as an integral component to the ongoing development of the ANTHC health care campus, the parking garage is located on a former parking lot site directly north of Tudor Centre Drive and the Alaska Native Medical Center. A single driveway provides access to the facility as well as to the Center of Disease Control parking lots to the east.   It is designed as a long span post-tensioned concrete structure to minimize columns and maximize parking capacity and maneuverability. The structure provides 440 parking spaces (including 49 designed for accessibility), a heated bus shelter and glazed stair towers at the SW and SE corners. Design was completed in October 2013, with construction completed in October 2015.

Design of the garage was coordinated with designs for the ANTHC Patient Housing and Sky Bridge which would commence construction while the garage was being completed. The SW stair tower of the garage includes an elevator and lobby, affording an internal connection to Patient Housing as well as a transition to the Sky Bridge for elevated access to the hospital.

The exterior skin of the garage is comprised of individual panels made up of tubular aluminum bars, called baguettes, oriented horizontally and attached to tube steel framing anchored to the concrete structure. The supports and tube steel frame are painted a contrasting color to the horizontal baguettes, giving the sense they are floating in space. The colors and patterns of the skin are intended to echo the Alaska Native themes used throughout the campus.
