Tempe Transportation Center
The Tempe Transportation Center will be located at Veterans Way and College Avenue at the base of
A-Mountain. The project includes a three-story, 40,000 sq.
ft. building, an exterior shaded courtyard, and a transit plaza serving
the new METRO light rail
and local and regional bus patrons.
The ground floor will include
retail, transit store, security office, and
bike station (with
bike repair and accessories). The second floor will include the
city of Tempe Transportation Offices and a community/conference room.
The third floor will house the Transit Operations Center and for-lease
office space. The
facility is scheduled to open in spring 2008. Contact project manager
Bonnie Richardson
for more information.

Sustainable Strategies
The Transportation Center building
and plaza will feature a variety of green building strategies:
-
Conservation of
water, using low-flow fixtures, waterless urinals,
green roof, greywater, rainwater harvesting, and native plants.
-
Energy conservation,
using energy-efficient equipment and photovoltaic solar collection.
-
Recycled materials,
rapidly renewable resources, and local/regional materials.
-
Improved indoor air
quality
-
Climate-sensitive
site development, providing alternative transportation options,
absorptive “cool” pavers, reduction of heat island effect, and
water-efficient landscaping for shade.
