46 iron racks with a capacity of 368 bicycles. 154 single iron loops with a capacity of 154 bicycles. 25 single concrete loops with a capacity of 25 bikes. The architects try to locate bicycle racks in areas where shelter exists such as under building overhangs, etc. A survey conducted of bicyclists showed the top two things that encourage people to bike to work were secure racks and shelter.
Staff also try to locate racks as close to the building entrances as possible.
Providing the bicyclist with the ability to park right outside the door encourages biking. People would not likely use racks if they had to walk some distance from the rack to their destination. A hard surface like concrete or brick is often used under the racks. Sometimes shredded bark mulch is used, but that gets messy. Snow in winter does pose a problem to bicycle racks.
