The landscape design consultant Hargreaves Associates was selected by the Denver Union Station project team to lead the design of the public spaces at Downtown Denver’s massive Union Station transit project. Here’s the official press release regarding the selection of Hargreaves.

Over the course of the summer, Hargreaves and project architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, will lay out the design for the public spaces within the Union Station Transit District area. Key to that process will be involving the public in that design effort, and making sure that Denver citizens have a say in what those public spaces will look like and how they will function.

I will keep you posted throughout the summer of public meetings and other important activites relating to the design of the public realm at Union Station, and you can also keep up with the latest news about the Union Station project by visiting the official project website (www.denverunionstation.org) and the website at Union Station Advocates (www.unionstationadvocates.org).
