Design principles should include

place making contributions to the community

Design principles reflected in revised Site Plan include:

• Creating a well-defined visual presence on the north, south and east facades to deliver

a building and terminal with solid place making contributions to the community

• Providing continuous weather protection for customers from the NE and SE urban

pedestrian plazas to the bus platforms

• Using a warm material palette, similar to the previous design
