This new public transit facility accommodates 17 buses internally, express and trolley buses with an off-street depressed lane, and a drop-off lane. Public art and advertisement panels, landscaping, benches, and interactive signage are provided throughout the site. The bus platform includes eight large, steel-framed, cantilevered canopies with 45-degree roof slopes and translucent panels at the ends of the canopies. A unique aspect of these canopies is the interstitial spaces above the canopy soffits. They are lighted so that the light through the translucent panels at the ends of the canopies contributes to the canopies serving as a Symbolic Gateway for patrons.
A similar, but much larger, T-shaped canopy extends from the Transit Center to the perimeter of the site. The 5,500-square-foot Transit Center houses restrooms, vending machines, a concierge area, and the interior seating is surrounded by a glass enclosure. The structural system includes exposed glue-laminated wood arches, metal decking, polished and rough-faced masonry units, and standing seam roofing.
