Green San Francisco Transbay Terminal Project

This project is still technically in the future, but it’s been given the green light by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority. Meant for the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, this design features both a tall glass tower and a large transit center in the city’s downtown area. Both buildings are meant to be high on sustainability, but the truly stunning part of the project is the transit center. It will include a massive 5.4 acre green roof/park which will be fully accessible to the public. The park will be the setting for cultural events, but it will also serve as an educational tool, teaching residents about sustainable design, green roofs, and local growing techniques. Both buildings will feature rainwater and graywater recycling, wind turbines and geothermal heating and cooling.
