In Birmingham, the site of the former Victorian railway station at Curzon Street will be transformed into a landmark destination at the heart of a 140-hectare regeneration project. The 1740-strong project team’s ethos was to create a transport hub that is “simple, elegant and refined”. Putting the customer first, WSP’s design features a spacious station concourse without columns, to enhance the user experience, while the arch roof provides a modern interpretation of the great Victorian stations. The project will be fully integrated with pedestrian, cycle, taxi, bus, conventional rail and tram infrastructure, becoming a catalyst for growth in the city and the wider economy of the West Midlands and beyond.
