Allentown Transportation Center - Allentown, Pennsylvania The Allentown Parking Authority retained TimHaahs to design the Allentown Transportation Center, a multi-modal bus transportation facility and parking structure that will accommodate public transportation service and parking in center city Allentown. TimHaahs is designing the Allentown Government Area Parking Structure and the Allentown Transportation Center concurrently.  The facility includes a five tier parking structure with approximately 500 parking spaces, an indoor transfer center for transit passengers, outdoor bus shelters, bus parking and surface parking. This footprint will accommodate shell space for retail or restaurant tenants, and the indoor transfer center for transit passengers, operated by LANTA.  The façade design was driven by the City’s effort to spur development in downtown Allentown. The TimHaahs team used a combination of architectural precast, brick, curtain wall, perforated metal screening and accent lighting to create an architectural centerpiece. |
