Northeast Corridor lmprovement Project

Design/Completion 1977/1984 Washington, DC to Boston, Massachusetts, USA

The project is a $2,500,000,000 program of the US Department of Transportation to improve intercity raił passenger services along the 456-mile corridor linking Boston, New York City, and Washington, DC. As part of the multidisciplinary team, SOM established architectural design standards for the entire system and realized improvements to 15 major passenger stations along the corridor. Stations ranging from suburban facilities with commuter and intercity passenger services to major urban terminals of outstanding architectural or historie significance are included in the project, and include Boston’s South Station, Providence’s Intercity Raił Station, Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station, Wilmington Station, Baltimore’s Pcnn Station, and Washington’s Union Station.

The program encompassed the preparation of detailed designs for restoration, renovation or new construction at each station; preparation of environmental impact assessment documents; and participation in securing the government approvals required to implement the station plans.
