The City of Brandon wanted to upgrade their existing transit
station building, and incorporate their ticketing center which was previously located
off site. The facility, which contains
offices spaces and also functions as a rest and training area for transit
drivers, was in need of both interior and exterior updating, and it was
imperative that the new design provide universal accessibility to the building
for transit users and staff.
Sputnik was able to breathe new life into the exterior of the
building by adding a contemporary weathered steel canopy over the relocated
entry way and new ramp. A secure public space is provided upon entry for transit
riders to purchase tickets and access customer services. Sputnik also designed
a custom, secure, metal surround for a digital display to provide users with
up-to-date transit information and schedules. The main floor also
contains two offices and a barrier free washroom. The basement underwent
structural remediation to reinforce the existing foundation walls, and now
serves as a rest area for transit drivers with a new staff area and training
room. Sputnik was responsible for the design and construction drawing
package and assisted the client with contract administration throughout
construction.
