The project was completed in phases due to funding from various federal, state and city entities, as well as to ensure continuous operations for Amtrak. The first phase included repairing the station’s four tower clocks, and restoration of the roof that utilized new terra cotta tiles that replicated the original materials. During the second phase, 68 wells and ground-source heat pumps were installed that heat and cool the station, along with the development of a new 13,500-sf public plaza that engages the diverse neighborhood, and creates a warm, inviting space. A beautifully renovated staircase bridges the gap from the plaza to the main entrance reconnecting Pioneer Square and the International District. For the final phase, our team structurally stabilized the load-bearing, unreinforced masonry building by inserting steel plates throughout.
