The parking structure is a 500-car four-story parking garage (with capacity for one additional floor) and is designed by Graves Architects, Inc. The parking garage can be entered and exited from Centre Avenue on the north at the top level of the garage or from Colwell Street on the south at the lowest level of the garage. The garage will connect to the arena for the use of suite and club seat holders during events. The garage will be used for commuter parking during the work day.

This parking structure is to be built by the SEA, and the budget is $9.13 million. The construction is funded by a 30-year revenue bond, which is backed, in part, by an annual from the Penguins. Any construction cost overruns are the responsibility of the SEA.
