Integrated Buildings and Places Design for Transit and Transportation

GFT architects design transportation and transit buildings and places that are intuitive, accessible, and efficient. Our work balances passenger experience, operational needs, and regulatory requirements to create stations, terminals, and support facilities that function seamlessly and enhance their surrounding communities.

Our civil and site teams design the infrastructure that connects transportation and transit buildings and places to their environment. We plan circulation, utilities, drainage, and grading to support multimodal access, security, and long-term site performance.

We deliver reliable electrical systems that support safety, security, communications, and future-ready operations. Our designs address the high-demand, mission-critical nature of transportation and transit facilities while improving energy efficiency and resilience.

Transportation facilities are complex and highly coordinated. GFT integrates architecture and engineering from the start, improving collaboration, mitigating risk, and enabling clients to make informed decisions earlier in the design process.

GFT supports a wide range of transportation facilities, including passenger stations, connecting and in-between spaces, historic modernizations, new buildings, operations and maintenance facilities, training centers, administrative offices, and infrastructure upgrades. Our work spans both public-facing and operational environments, helping owners improve functionality, accessibility, and long-term performance across their transportation systems.

Transportation building projects may use design-bid-build, design-build, or other delivery methods, based on owner priorities. GFT works with owners to assess options, manage risk, and facilitate informed decisions. With experience delivering transportation buildings across delivery methods, we provide consistent design quality, coordination, and performance, regardless of the project’s delivery approach.

Our designs prioritize people while meeting the rigorous technical demands of transportation facilities. We focus on accessibility, comfort, and wayfinding, supported by high-performing building systems that ensure reliability and long-term value.
