On one of the Denver’s most trafficked thoroughfares, Civic Center Station integrates urban life, mixed-use development, and transit right in the shadow of the Colorado State Capital. Recasting an aging RTD bus terminal and failing plaza roof as a vibrant public space and state-of-the-art transit facility, Perkins Eastman’s design capitalizes on the station’s unique and important location in the downtown. The design plan creates a unique place that brings together all modes of transit and creates a direct link to Union Station. Looking at the movement of people through the city as an experiential event, the design team created a vital part of the city fabric and established Civic Center Square as a destination for Coloradans and visitors in the heart of the city.
