Another spectacular rail and transportation project underway by SOM's Transportation Architecture practice. We are seeing more of these important projects types worldwide as we migrate to public transportation - some places much slower than others. In Asia Pacific we are seeing an acceleration in urban large-scale mixed-use developments which are railway and transport orientated developments.
Exciting news on the transformation of the iconic William H. Gray III 30th Street Station! We’ve kicked off construction on this landmark renovation project. “As the design-builder, we’ve worked with our design partner, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), over the last nearly 30 months to thoughtfully develop a design and phased construction approach that will transform the station into a world-class transportation hub while minimizing disruptions to ongoing operations,” notes Shawn Carlin, senior vice president and Gilbane’s Philadelphia business leader. #BuiltbyGilbane #DesignBuild #PublicPrivatePartnership #GilbaneBuildsPhiladelphia

9moThe future of cities depends on making the smartest choices at the intersection of mobility and destination. 30th Street Station in Philadelphia is such a great model for so many urban places around the world where infrastructure is rich but reinvestment in people and constructive urbanism needs a boost! The return on civic investment will be incalculable.
