BLOOMINGTON GO STATIONNEW STATION

This flagship station, designed to Metrolinx’s industry-leading standard, incorporates public spaces into the commuter station. The station includes an integrated three-storey, cast-in-place concrete, post-tensioned parking structure to accommodate 760 vehicles.

The fully accessible station has two elevators, pedestrian ramps, and links to the platform and bus terminal. The centre core supports the atrium’s 810 m2 skylight flank by two roof top solar panel fields. Outside, a covered walkway borders the surface parking lot and passenger pick-up and drop-off area. A 6-bay bus loop runs through the lower level of the structure.

At track level, the 12-car platform features a snow-melting system, designated waiting areas, and scooter parking. Airplane-style architectural concrete canopies were cast using lightweight concrete and integrated heated shelters for protection and comfort.
