After a delay of over 12 years, construction has begun on Hines’ new 40-story South Station office tower, which includes BIA’s design for a major expansion of the elevated Bus Terminal. The new expanded bus terminal concourse will pass below the tower and provide new direct connections to the platform level and subway system. Accommodations include 16 new accessible bus berths (existing berths are not fully accessible), along with expanded traveler lounges, amenities and food operations. Design collaboration with the tower design team was also undertaken to optimize the visual character and functionality of platform level public spaces.
