Train station

The historic train station will be transformed into an attractive and contemporary space. Covered waiting areas, seating and a safe connection to the CU area will create an appealing and sustainable environment. The plaza will be clearer and friendlier, with a transparent station roof, outdoor dining and a grove of trees. There is also space for bicycles and a bus loop with green areas. The green design helps improve the settlement climate and promotes biodiversity.

The transformation of the station includes the areas of development, repair, free play, greening and connecting. The goal is an attractive and contemporary station with an identity-creating character and high quality of stay. The transformation takes sustainability aspects into account and includes covered waiting areas, seating, a safe connection to the CU area and an ecological outdoor space.

The station square is made clearer and more orientation-friendly by the transformation "free play". A transparent and permeable station roof with photovoltaic films creates a bright and friendly atmosphere. There are covered waiting areas, an outdoor restaurant and a grove of trees as a meeting place. The mobility offer includes uncovered bicycle parking spaces and a bus loop with green spaces. The settlement climate is improved by green islands, large deciduous trees and evaporative cool vegetation areas. The design takes into account light-colored pavements, rainwater infiltration and the promotion of biodiversity.
