Station and Art in Public Places Design

Throughout final design, the City has engaged community stakeholders in a collaborative station design process to gain an understanding of history and context along the Mason Corridor and to cater to community needs. With this input, the design team and the City’s APP artist continue to refine integrated architecture and art concepts at stations that create a unique, iconic, and innovative identity for MAX. The team aims to create consistency along the corridor while providing opportunities for individualization and neighborhood context at stations. Extensive collaboration with community groups and City departments has led to design opportunities that reduce project costs, integrate unique station designs in the community, and highlight functional art elements.

Utilizing a model from Hannover, Germany, design of MAX stations is expected to include one specific structural framework along the corridor with different cladding and artistic treatments at each station. This method allows for continuity along the corridor yet uniqueness at stations. Station images on this page represent a typical center platform (which accommodates both northbound and southbound BRT travel) and a typical side platform station (which accommodates either northbound or southbound BRT travel from one side of the street). These images incorporate architectural and art designs being considered as part of the final design process.
