TRANSPORTATION & MAINTENANCE

Transportation facilities, from bus and rail maintenance facilities to intermodal centers, require creative design solutions to complex issues. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, emerging technology, contextual design, and community support are a few of the factors that must be considered when designing new facilities.
