Completed in February 2009, this $3.9 million facility is designed to serve three different functions for the rapidly growing northern portions of Bellingham, Washington: a bus-stop for the adjacent Whatcom Community College, a transfer station for the workers and shoppers going to the nearby commercial areas, and a park-and-ride for the residential areas of north Bellingham. The passenger concourse is ìbook-endedî by two buildings - the southern building contains public restroom facilities, while the northern building houses a driver breakroom with a kitchenette and restrooms and ticketing offices.
The buildings are constructed of pre-cast concrete to facilitate an accelerated construction schedule. The roof of the concourse is similarly designed from off-the-shelf components (steel pipe and plastic glazing panels) but configured in such a way as to appear custom-built. Radiant heaters are installed for use in only the most extreme weather conditions. The park-and-ride portion of the site has room for up to 100 vehicles, while the bus islands can accommodate up to 11 buses at a time. The bus lane adjacent to Cordata Parkway incorporates an acceleration lane to ease traffic congestion. Other amenities include combination seating and windscreens with art glass panels and roofed bicycle storage.
