It’s official: Grimshaw Architects and Gruen Associates will design the master plan for Union Station and the 40 acres surrounding it. The board of directors for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted today to award a contract not exceeding $4.15 million to London-based Grimshaw and LA-based Gruen—one of six final teams that were vying for the high-profile commission.
The plan is meant to revitalize the area while also preparing the historic train station for future growth of the region’s transit system. In a prepared statement, Metro emphasized that “while there will be no detailed architectural design involved with the master plan, Grimshaw is expected to bring architectural vision to the process.”
