The recipient of numerous international design awards, Brentwood SkyTrain Station—the Millennium Line’s flagship station—boasts a hightech aesthetic with userfriendly warmth. In 1999, Perkins+Will was selected to design two SkyTrain stations for Metro Vancouver’s Millennium Line. Because of its flagship location, it was vital that the Brentwood station be particularly unique, attractive, and enticing, to encourage transit use. The station provides a sleek, high-tech aesthetic for the new line; hovering above the Lougheed Highway, the main enclosure is a warm and appealing invitation to commuters below, and a safe, comfortable space for its patrons.
The station is composed in two distinct volumes: A streamlined platform above touches down lightly on a broad, low mezzanine below. The mezzanine acts as a public false ground, spanning the highway and creating an open and dynamic public space, while the platform enclosure above functions as an inviting beacon. A single mass-produced glass panel, mounted on custom designed rotating brackets, is used for the entire glazing system. This system is supported by curved steel and wood ribs of varying size and height, while extensive wood panelling in the station’s canopy lends the project a distinctly West Coast ambience. With its distinctive and sophisticated design, the Brentwood SkyTrain Station has been recognized around the world and at home as a dramatic and appealing landmark, and a striking addition to both the Millennium Line and the City of Burnaby.

Located in an emerging mixed-use area of Burnaby, Gilmore SkyTrain Station provides a sophisticated and inviting facility for passengers travelling on the Millennium Line. Sister to Brentwood Station, Gilmore SkyTrain Station is located on the Millennium Line and shares the mandate of encouraging transit use through accessibility and safety. Gilmore is the hub in the emerging mixed-use area at the western edge of Brentwood Town Centre. The station focuses on a public entry plaza at the corner of Gilmore Avenue
and Dawson Street. The transparent building features the various elevators, stairs and escalators it incorporates, celebrating the movement of people. The plaza incorporates a public art component, a retail kiosk and significant planting to create a functional and important public space. Wood and glass are major building components. The curved canopy roof can be seen from a distance; the underside of the roof is an exposed Timberstrand wood panel, providing visual warmth to the structure’s interior. Perkins+Will’s industrial design division developed a cast-steel kingpost, a custom building component for this roof structure. As continuing development is built around the station, the modular walls and roof structure will allow for future reconfiguration and adaptation of components.

The stations for the Richmond portion of the Canada Line were designed to be safe and inviting, and to act as catalysts for adjacent development and renewal. Perkins+Will was commissioned to design three stations for the Richmond portion of the new Canada Line transit system, an elevated line running parallel to No. 3 Road. Aberdeen Station, Lansdowne Station and RichmondBrighouse Station were designed as a family, united by similarities in structure, glazing and roof elements. The stations are fully glazed to encourage openness and visibility. Platforms are accessible primarily via stairs and escalators, with transparent elevators providing wheelchair access. On the platforms, the extensive use of glass creates a visual connection with the surrounding area.

Fir wood modular roof panels integrate services and allowed for off-site
fabrication, reducing costs and improving the quality of the final product. The roof deck portion is made up of 38 x 89 mm lumber solidly packed together on edge and thin enough to achieve a curvilinear form. These distinctive roofs provide weather protection for the length of the platform and clearly identify the stations as part of the Canada Line’s Richmond segment. They have also proven beneficial to the project schedule: Each of the three station roofs took about a week and a half to install, contributing to the line opening three-and-a-half months early. With more than 100,000 passengers travelling the line per day, each station was conceived of as a catalyst for future development and was designed to complement its envisioned surroundings. Aberdeen supports mixed-use commercial development, RichmondBrighouse serves as a large-scale urban project and Lansdowne is surrounded by a large-scale park and plaza. Strategic daylighting ensures that future development does not reduce the level of daylight brought into the stations, and rooftop rainwater collection is incorporated into landscape design features.

Perkins+Will is developing new transit stations for the extension of the Scarborough Rapid Transit line in Toronto in order to accommodate refurbishment of the line and new low-floor vehicles. Completed in 1985, the existing Scarborough Rapid Transit line runs 6.4 km and serves six stations, utilizing a linear induction motor technology. Plans call for the SRT line to be extended from its current terminus at Kennedy Station to Malvern Town Centre, a neighourhood in northeast Toronto. The extension will include four new stations that will be designed to accommodate new low-floor vehicles, which will be powered by an overhead catenary power system. The Centennial College Station, located northeast of the Progress Avenue/Markham Road intersection, is one of two new stations scheduled to
be constructed during Phase 1, which is planned to commence in 2015. Two additional stations and the extension of the line into Malvern will be completed in Phase 2 when funding becomes available. In 2009, Perkins+Will was commissioned to complete a Phase 1 Work Plan in addition to Needs Analysis, Preliminary Design and Site Plan Control for Centennial College Station. One of the key objectives of the Centennial College station design is to provide high quality transit service to the Markham Road/Progressive Avenue area population, which includes a large number of students and staff. The preliminary design includes an entry plaza that serves as a pedestrian hub and a double-height main entrance at the south end of the station that connects the street level and the concourse level. The centre platform includes a roof that overhangs the guideway and full-height platform screen doors with louvers. The perimeter of the guideway also opens to allow for natural ventilation. rooftop rainwater collection is incorporated into landscape design features.

Perkins+Will partnered with T.Y. Lin Engineering to design a modern transit hub based on Fuling Sustainable Development Strategy to meet the growing traffic of Fuling district and improve urban transit. Perkins+Will and T.Y. Lin Engineering was commissioned by Municipal Government of Chongqing to design a modern and advance Fuling Mountain Bay Transit Hub. The site is adjacent to the tip of the north-south bound of the River Park Corridor. The south side of the site is mainly zoned for commercial uses. Large markets, such Xindaxing and Shengzhe, conveniently connect to other cities through Yingbing Road and Ejingguan Interchange. Residential land use area is situated north of the site all the way to the river.
Return to Project Map perkinswill.com
To better fit in the context of the site, the project needs to be iconic and ecofriendly. The formation of the design must take advantage of Fuling’s undulating terrain. Good integration of the public transport system is an important
indicator of sustainable development of modern advanced cities. The Transit Hub will become an important iconic public building that reflects Fuling’s Sustainable Development Strategy. With average daily passengers at 15,500 per day, the Transfer Hub mainly needs to ease long-haul passenger distribution while accommodates local public transportation, vehicle rentals, as well as transfer loads of long-distance transit from other cities. The Transfer Hub must also accommodate future plan for light rail passenger traffic at the north side of the site. Conducive to achieving the seamless convergence of the various modes of transportation, the Transfer Hub strives to achieve “zero transfer”. It will alleviate the traffic pressure of the city centre, improve the urban traffic environment, and improve the efficiency of public travel. The design team presented two design schemes: the Baiheliang (White Crane Ridge) Scheme and the Stone Fish scheme, both of which are based on the rich local history in Fuling and incorporates the traditional stories within the passenger experience at the Fuling Mountain Bay Transit Transfer Hub.

Perkins+Will designed two transit stations for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for a new high-speed line that links the religious cities of Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah. The purpose of the Makkah Madinah Rail Line (MMRL) project is to serve passengers, predominantly religious pilgrims and commuters wishing to travel between Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah. In order to meet these requirements, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plans to develop new railway infrastructure in the form of a high-speed line that links the three cities with five new stations. The project involves the construction of two new lines between Jeddah and Makkah, and Jeddah and Madinah.
A large number of Umrah visitors and Hajj pilgrims travel between Makkah and Madinah every year, a number that is expected to grow as a result of the new rules greatly facilitating Hajj/Umrah visits. The MMRL will transport an estimated 30 million travellers per year by 2020 on state-of-the-art high-speed rail infrastructure, providing fast, safe, reliable and comfortable high-speed transportation. Perkins+Will designed two of the five transit stations—the City of Jeddah station and the King Abdullah Economic City station. The stations are designed to convey the ideas of speed and movement that are associated with high-speed train travel, yet respect the region’s cultural context and respond to the local climate.

local climate and context. The elegant steel structure is in-filled with solid and translucent panels supporting a photovoltaic array creating a modern interpretation of traditional Islamic tile work. The canopy not only harvests the suns energy using photovoltaics, but also provide shade for the conditioned platforms below. The diagrid structure of the canopy was broken into replicable structural bays, allowing it to respond to the various platform lengths of each metro line and be expandable in the future. The most important design objective for these stations is to provide a comfortable and convenient system that provides passengers with a very high quality experience. The Client understood the importance of these objectives in convincing an oil rich population to get out of their cars and onto mass transit. To this end, the station designs extended well into the public and pedestrian realm with streetscape improvements along all metro lines extending the passenger experience beyond the doors of the stations.

Riyadh Development Authority Olayya-Batha Corridor Urban Planning and Transportation Study
LOCATION Riyadh, Saudi Arabia completion date April 2008 size Corridor Length: 35 km
Perkins+Will’s development plan for one of Riyadh’s central transport routes is designed to reduce congestion, introduce mass transit and create a vibrant and high-density city boulevard. The Riyadh Development Authority selected Perkins+Will, with Dornier Consulting and Omrania & Associates, to prepare a Comprehensive Development Plan for transit-oriented development along the Olayya-Batha Corridor, one of Riyadh’s busiest traffic arteries. The corridor is currently oriented towards single vehicle traffic, and significant congestion and a lack of street-level development have made pedestrian activity along the corridor virtually non-existent.
Return to Project Map perkinswill.com
Riyadh’s population is set to double over the next 15 years, and in anticipation of this, the Development Authority has identified locations for five major metropolitan subcentres in order to establish concentrated nodes of development,
services and employment. The OlayyaBatha corridor connects the northern and the southern metropolitan sub-centres to the central area, and as a result, will serve as a development spine to accommodate higher density residential areas and more intensive and attractive commercial activities. Existing congestion issues, future population growth and the corridor’s status as a vital spine for the city have inspired the Development Authority to redevelop the route as a high-density, bustling and vibrant city boulevard. The Comprehensive Development Plan creates a new concept for the transport corridor, incorporating pedestrian facilities, traffic management systems and a mass transit line between Olayya and Batha, eliminating the adverse effects of motorised transport within the corridor and throughout the city. In addition, a general zoning plan and an urban concept for the study area address the changing nature of the corridor as the city’s main transportation and commercial spine. In 2004, Perkins+Will led the design of innovative prototype stations that will be utilized on the new transit line.

Perkins+Will designs Centrepoint to be a signature complex that provides a pedestrianfriendly streetscape for Kingsway and complements Metrotown, Burnaby’s most prominent commercial hub. The Centrepoint development comprises two adjacent mixed-use parcels at 4700 and 4800 Kingsway. The sites are connected by pedestrian bridges to each other as well as to the City of Burnaby’s main retail and transit village at Metrotown Centre. After a detailed assessment of the sites’ development potential, Perkins+Will recommended
that Intracorp develop both sites as a single project. Perkins+Will designed a landmark residential tower above significant street-level retail space for one site. For the other site, the firm developed a smaller tower with residential townhomes at grade on the secondary streets and significant commercial and retail space along the main streetfront. Providing a counterpoint to the commercial hub at Metrotown, Centrepoint promotes an active street life and complements an already vibrant neighbourhood. Along the main thoroughfare at Kingsway, varied canopy heights, sun shading and an articulated structure enhance a pedestrian-friendly character along the street, while the massing and placement of townhouses and retail spaces along secondary routes at Hazel Street and Miller Avenue serve a similar purpose.residential project to achieve LEED Gold status from the USGBC.

Perkins+Will designs a LEED-CS Gold Certified mixed-use development that elegantly combines a diverse selection of uses in an attractive, sustainable and pedestrian-friendly project. Due to its size, street frontage, sloping topography and ready access to transit, the Cross Roads site is ideally suited to a mix of uses. To maximize this potential, Perkins+Will developed a scheme that elegantly combines a varied programmatic mix, which includes large-format food and drug stores, commercial retail units, rental office space, a bank, restaurants and market residential uses. Separate and distinct entrances respond to individual street characters, with large wood canopies used at major commercial entrances to enlarge the public realm and focus pedestrian activity. Located at a major transit node that includes numerous bus routes, a Canada Line subway station,
and a future subway entrance for the planned Millennium Line extension, Cross Roads offers the area a transitoriented urbanism that anchors the surrounding commercial district, serves as a vibrant gateway into the city’s core, and provides a viable economic alternative to downtown living. The diversity of uses and complex zoning and developmental restrictions unique to the Cross Roads site presented the design team with a variety of architectural challenges. Perkins+Will’s strength in urban and development planning, as well as the firm’s ability to direct and manage complex rezoning and development proposals through the civic approvals process, greatly contributed to the successful completion of Cross Roads. Despite an aggressive schedule, the design team incorporated a variety of sustainable strategies, including a waste heat recovery strategy, a focus on water and energy efficiency, and the use of rapidly renewable materials and locally sourced products, such as Pine Beetle Kill Wood from British Columbia.

region. The 99 B-Line also has the highest productivity of any TransLink line. Additionally, Broadway Station has experienced dramatic changes in use due to recent increases in ridership and changes in circulation patterns, resulting from the addition of Commercial Station. Bikeways and pedestrian paths are poorly integrated with the area as a whole, and significant development opportunities exist in the adjacent commercial areas.
The Transit Village Plan for the Broadway-Commercial area focused on six areas of investigation: transportation issues, station design issues, the commercial streetscape, pedestrian and bikeway connections, redevelopment opportunities and integration into the community.
The Transit Village Plan, which addressed all of these issues, occurred in three stages: a concept phase, which entailed a site assessment, meetings with stakeholders, project managers and the steering committee; a concept design phase, which included staff reviews, meetings with the steering committee and a consultation with the Urban Design Panel; and the final report, which included a public open house and a presentation to Vancouver City Council.

The station experienced 7.3 million boardings in 2005, a number that is expected to grow to 13 million over the next two decades. TransLink commissioned Perkins+Will to examine redevelopment of the station based on five key concerns: insufficient capacity; the lack of accessible paths to the station; insufficient bus loop capacity; the station’s reduced catchment area; and issues of connectivity to the surrounding neighbourhood. The firm analysed an extensive set of options, including renovations, redevelopments and relocations, and developed an extensive improvement plan.

Perkins+Will developed an urban structure framework plan for the city of Abu Dhabi, in conjunction with Larry Beasley, former Head of Planning for the City of Vancouver, and Civitas Urban Design and Planning.
Finalist
Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates, controls more than 10% of the world’s proven oil reserves, and the income they provide, have had a profound effect on the city: 50 years ago, the majority of citizens lacked access to health care, education, electricity and running water; today, the city is a bustling modern capital, with planned development for the next decade exceeding $100 billion USD in value. As a result of this rapid transformation, the city was in urgent need of a plan to direct development.
Return to Project Map perkinswill.com
The planning process began in December of 2006 with a series of preparatory studies: an economic analysis; an infrastructure review; an environmental audit; a transportation summary; an assessment of existing built form, development patterns and open space distribution; and a
al charrette in March, which included planning exercises at the regional, district and individual block levels. This process resulted in a policy framework for how the city will handle growth over the next 25 years. Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 centered on two major moves: the extension of the downtown area, which focused on Suwwah Island, and the creation of the Abu Dhabi Capital District, which will eventually house 450,000 residents and major federal government institutions. Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 was published in June 2007 by the Urban Planning Council and adopted as official government policy. Several development initiatives and a comprehensive master plan of the city are underway based upon Plan Abu Dhabi 2030. Since Plan Abu Dhabi 2030’s implementation, the consortium of Beasley and Associates, Civitas Urban Design and Planning and Perkins+Will have been asked to produce 2030 Plans for the City of Al Ain, the Western Region of Al Gharbia and the Eastern Region.

Perkins+Will’s leading sustainable thinkers collaborate to provide meaningful feedback on the City of Vancouver’s EcoDensity Initiative and a potential vision of a more sustainable city. The Perkins+Will on EcoDensity initiative began with a request from the City of Vancouver’s Director of Planning to provide feedback on the proposed EcoDensity Charter and Initial Actions. As part of the firm’s commitment to advancing industry knowledge, the firm performed a critical analysis of the EcoDensity Initiative. The firm’s response quickly developed into a more deliberate effort to understand the opportunities inherent in the City’s proposal and to provide meaningful feedback from the firm’s research and design staff. Acknowledging the firm’s
role as leading thinkers in the field of sustainable design, research and urban planning, a brochure and presentation were produced to provide the planning department with a possible vision, and means to creating a more sustainable city. Work on the project began by drawing from the firm’s community-scale deep green projects such as Dockside Green in Victoria, BC and other research conducted on North American and European cities that foster green buildings and neighbourhoods. The results of the exercise have become part of the planning department’s vision for EcoDensity moving forward and have garnered attention from municipalities across the Lower Mainland. Data gathered for the purposes of the presentation and brochure have been valuable in understanding how a city’s land use strategy can foster deep green development, district infrastructure and community amenities.

The Atlanta BeltLine plan is an ambitious urban redevelopment strategy that will guide the area’s development over the next 20 years through the creation of a dynamic transit greenway. The Atlanta BeltLine is an infrastructure framework around which the urban core of Atlanta will grow by as many as 100,000 people. Currently a circle of mostly abandoned or underutilized railroads, it is being transformed into a new transit greenway, a 22-mile loop of light-rail transit, multi-use paths and linear parks that will engage over 40 historic communities, 700 acres of existing parks and over 4,000 acres of underutilized urban land.

This visionary project was conceived by Ryan Gravel as his graduate thesis project in Architecture & City Planning
at Georgia Tech in 1999. Six years of his subsequent work as a volunteer and later in the nonprofit and government sectors was critical to the BeltLine’s success. It is now one of Atlanta’s top priorities. In conjunction with Georgia Tech’s College of Architecture, Perkins+Will led a team of professionals and students in developing the BeltLine Street Framework Plan for the City of Atlanta. The study focused on creating future connections through existing industrial parcels along the proposed BeltLine, while still maintaining parcels that are dimensionally flexible for redevelopment. By examining the historical right of way pattern of Atlanta and each area’s surrounding grid context, the study projected future rights of way through the underutilized industrial and commercial parcels. The study creates a guideline for residents and developers as to how the public connections to the BeltLine shall be created in accordance with each parcel’s redevelopment.

In the heart of the Metrotown Burnaby area, the McMurray Street pedestrian bridge creates a focal point for the developing neighbourhood while enhancing pedestrian access to amenities. In 2007 Perkins+Will was commissioned by the City of Burnaby to design a new pedestrian bridge that crosses McMurray Street at Metrotown, a shopping mall complex in Burnaby. The bridge was designed to enhance pedestrian access to area amenities and help create a pedestrian culture that promotes public transit usage for shoppers and residents of the local developments.
The firm utilized a holistic and integrated design process to create the landmark structure that connects Metrotown with the growing surrounding commercial and residential areas. The project is comprised of two concrete support piers, access stairs, and a bridge that spans 100 feet and includes a 10-foot-wide deck with an 8-foot-high guardrail. The structure material is steel HSS with concrete on steel for decking. The guardrail system consists of tempered glass in storefront frames, which provides protection from the elements. This project was completed in conjunction with two mixed-use development projects on the 4700 and 4800 blocks of Kingsway and the Kingsway Pedestrian bridge.

By taking advantage of offset right-of-ways at the touchdown points, Perkins+Will creates a dynamic and arresting structure for the Griffiths Pedestrian Bridge in Burnaby. The Griffiths Pedestrian Bridge is Burnaby’s first architecturally detailed and creatively engineered pedestrian overpass. The City of Burnaby commissioned Fast + Epp and Perkins+Will to design a multi-use bridge that would be safe, accessible, low maintenance, aesthetically pleasing, and economical to construct using a similar budget to a conventional concrete post and beam structure.
The twelve-foot-wide, sixty-five-footlong bridge spans Griffiths Way in south Burnaby. The elegant, visually arresting structure consists of an HSS structural frame suspended from a hollow steel tube arch with stainlesssteel cables. A thin concrete deck rests on the frame, following an S-shaped path to allow for an offset in the rightof-way at either side of the street. As a result, the architectural and structural frame are skewed in plan, introducing a gentle shift in the angle of suspension cables over the length of the span. An eight-foot-high stainless-steel mesh screen, supported by curved steel stanchions, offers protection along the main span. On the approach spans, the stanchions are reduced to five feet, with a guard of stainless-steel cables. Wooden handrails run the length of bridge. Griffiths Street Bridge, Burnaby, BC

The Tynehead Pedestrian Overpass is designed to connect six kilometres of greenways and cycling routes in Surrey, helping the City to create a healthier and more sustainable community. In 2009, the City of Surrey commissioned Perkins+Will to design a pedestrian overpass that enhances the city’s green network of parks and trails, creating a more sustainable community by encouraging physical activity and providing an alternative to driving that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
The new overpass connects two major recreational nodes in Surrey— the Tynehead Regional Park south of Highway 1 and the Surrey Bend Regional Park north of the highway— and services the Fraser Heights neighbourhood at 168th Street.

The 120-metre-long overpass consists of pre-fabricated Warren-type trusses that include three Hollow Structural Steel (HSS) truss spans. The bridge also incorporates a lighting feature as a public art component that creates a significant landmark along Highway 1 and furthers the city’s image as a progressive leader in public art. The $5.5 million overpass is funded by a cost-sharing agreement between the City of Surrey, the Province of British Columbia, and the federal government’s Building Canada Fund.

LOCATION Surrey, BC completion date May 2011 Construction Cost $2.4 million CAD size Span: 73m (239.5ft) Deck Width: 3m (9.8ft) Consultants Structural Engineer: Associated Engineering Geotechnical engineer: Thurber Engineering Ltd. Landscape Architect: space2place Artistic Lighting: EOS Light Media
The Pioneer Pedestrian Overpass is part of the Pioneer Greenway, which facilitates the connection of South Surrey to the Peace Arch border crossing. In 2009, the City of Surrey commissioned Perkins+Will to design a pedestrian and cycling overpass that crosses Highway 99 in South Surrey, connecting area neighbourhoods and eliminating a key missing link in the Pioneer Greenway, a multi-use pathway that will eventually connect Surrey to the Peace Arch border crossing. It will also facilitate the connection of Grandview Heights to the Semiahmoo Trail and to a planned seawall along the shores of the Semiahmoo Peninsula. The Pioneer overpass is an important part of the City of Surrey’s Greenways
Program, which is working to create healthy communities by promoting physical activity and alternatives to vehicular transportation, which helps reduce green house gas emissions. The 3-metre-wide and 73-metre-long steel arch pedestrian bridge utilizes the gentle slope of the site’s natural topography. It consists of a single-span steel-arch bridge with concrete foundations. The project also includes associated pathway works and landscaping.

The design of the bridge creates a very visible gateway for South Surrey. The bridge will be illuminated at night with programming depending on the season and special dates. The $2.4 million overpass is funded by a cost-sharing agreement between the City of Surrey, the Province of British Columbia, and the federal government’s Building Canada Fund. It is expected to open to the public in May 2011.
