DEQ wants new parking garage at headquarters in downtown OKC

The official announcement has not been made by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, but the agency headquartered in downtown Oklahoma City plans to build an eight-story garage.

The Oklahoman’s Steve Lackmeyer reported this week that the DEQ made a request and presented plans to the Oklahoma City planning department. It intends to demolish the existing four-story garage that was built in 1957 and replace it with a new garage.

It will be located at NW 7 and Robinson which is north of the agency headquarters.

DEQ’s application must first be approved by the Downtown Design Review Committee.
