Fox & Fowle Architects has designed several transit stations for the new Hudson Bergen Light Rail Transit System. The Hoboken Light Rail Station is a new light rail station above the ferry slip between Hoboken and Newport, New Jersey, which provides a link between commuter trains, PATH trains, and ferries, as well as pedestrian access to members of both those communities. This intermodal facility is sited on a central waterfront site in the heart of historic Hoboken. The location of the station on the waterfront encouraged the project team to think about how
to recapture the waterfront for public use; creating public open space and a convenient intermodal connection is a major component of the project.
The project team had to address how to insert a new, transit-oriented structure into the historic context. The team used opposition to create dynamism and balance. The open structure station borrows from the traditional train station vocabulary and makes reference to nautical shapes and forms. But the column and cable-suspension structure is contemporary, providing an aesthetic contrast to
the nearby buildings of historic Hoboken. This contrast was a conscious choice; the project team wanted to celebrate the duality of old and new.
Steel-cabled canopies provide covered access across a bridge to the platforms. Curved glass block windscreens along each platform allow for wind protection for both seating and ticket machines. The design also incorporates works of art into the composition; the elements form a new object within the New Jersey waterfront landscape. The first phase of this project, the platform canopies, is complete.
