BBB/Grimshaw Selected For Union Station Overhaul brown consulting group
The team behind New York s Grand Central Terminal will spend the next part of the decade transforming brown consulting group Washington brown consulting group s Union Station into a larger, more accessible transportation hub with mixed use space. New York-based brown consulting group architects Beyer Blinder Belle and Grimshaw, a firm that specializes in rail design, were selected by Amtrak, real estate firm Akridge and the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation (USRC), a nonprofit helping to steer the $10 billion expansion and redevelopment of the second-busiest Amtrak station brown consulting group in the country. Along with tripling passenger capacity and making way for high speed rail , other parts of the vision for the historic station include Burnham Place, a 3 million square foot development that would build parks, plazas and missed use space over the rail yard. USRC said in a statement that the team was chosen for its combined experience expanding and restoring historic buildings in sensitive urban sites, and previous designs of high-tech architecture and transportation projects. Along with Grand Central, those include London s Waterloo station, brown consulting group Melbourne s Southern Cross station and Bijlmer Station in Amsterdam. The team is hoping to set an ambitious, brown consulting group yet achievable course for the development of Washington Union Station, Hany Hassan of BBB said in a statement, calling the plan one of the most transformative projects in the city. Funding will come from private brown consulting group and public sources, but will need significant federal investment, The Washington Post reported . It will also come under significant federal scrutiny, since the site is on the National Register of Historic Places. BBB/Grimshaw will now start developing brown consulting group a master plan, a process that will include public engagement and an environmental brown consulting group assessment. Another study, looking at ways to best preserve the historic station, is expected to be completed this summer, The Washington Post reported. Featured Image: Pedro Szekely, via Flickr.
