SOM刚刚完成丹佛全新公共汽车广场的工作，这是城市联合车站和联运公共交通枢纽再开发的至关重要的组成部分。地铁站将公共汽车服务与第8轨道铁路服务平台、轻轨站连接起来，它们之间只有短暂的步行距离。联合车站的重建项目还将改造历史美术终端，并驱动了新的商业涌入市中心商业区，同时努力改善公共交通拥挤的城市。SOM负责20英亩场地的总体规划和重建，带来了全面改进的丹佛公共交通系统。联合车站作为丹佛地区的交通枢纽区(RTD)，它提供了轻轨、通勤火车和公共汽车运输。该项目还包括周围地区、1914历史改造区、市中心区行人和自行车道以及绿化的总体规划。

联合车站以地面上的第8轨道站台为特点，这个站台由一个180英尺长的顶棚、11个钢桁架组成，外表覆盖着一层可拉伸白色织物。具有张力的顶棚为乘客提供了庇护所，同时了场地的历史性。站台现在已经建成，地下的公共汽车广场与区域的公共汽车和轻轨联系起来，另外还有四条轻轨线将在2018年被建设。公共汽车广场兼做行人广场，它拥有鲜艳的色彩特性、清晰的路径、自然采光，让人们感觉不到身处地下反而觉得很宽敞。

SOM just completed work on Denver's sweeping new Bus Concourse, which is critical component in the redevelopment of the city's Union Station and intermodal public transit hub. The underground station connects bus service to the 8-track rail platform and a light rail station just a short walk away. The Union Station redevelopment project will also renovate the historic Beaux Arts terminal and drive an influx of new commerce to the downtown business district while working to improve public transit in the congested city.

SOM was responsible for the master plan and redevelopment of the 20-acre site to bring about sweeping improvements to Denver’s public transportation system. Union Station serves as the hub for the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD), which provides light rail, commuter rail, and bus transit. The project also includes master plans for the surrounding neighborhood, the renovation of the historic 1914 terminal, as well as landscaping and pedestrian and bike paths for the downtown district.

Union Station now features an 8-track train platform above ground, which is covered by a 180-foot-long canopy built from 11 steel trusses and covered in white tensile fabric. The expressive canopy provides shelter for passengers while preserving views of the historic station. Now completed, the underground bus concourse connects bus transit with regional and light rail service – and four new light rail lines are set to be installed by 2018. The bus concourse doubles as a pedestrian concourse and features vivid colors, clear way finding and day lighting, which makes it feel less subterranean and more spacious.

“This project represents a major investment in transit-oriented development with extraordinarily far-reaching social and economic consequences,” states Roger Duffy, Design Partner. “The bus concourse is the result of nearly a decade of thoughtful public consultation and bold design. Its completion helps realize this community’s aspirations for a truly transformational neighborhood and landmark public project.” The redevelopment of the old rail yards into the new intermodal transit hub will relieve congestion in the city, and it has also led to $1 billion worth of private investment in the area.
