Arup has been appointed by HS2 Ltd to provide preliminary designs for the HS2 terminus at Euston station.
The redevelopment design will transform the station and support regeneration in the surrounding area.
The design will include a new terminus for HS2 and existing railway services, a new London underground ticket office, office and retail space, public spaces and community facilities with the aim of improving access, space and overall experience for all rail users and the local community.
Arup’s preliminary designs will include architectural design by Grimshaw and logistical infrastructure development by Costain.
Colin Stewart, Arup Global Rail Leader, said:
“The redesign of Euston Station is a hugely exciting project for us, which builds on our work for HS2 Ltd over the last 2.5 years in developing route options and assisting with public consultation.
“We are looking forward to using our transport infrastructure expertise gained over many years of working on projects including St. Pancras International, Cross Rail, and King’s Cross, to create a design that will transform Euston and establish it as a landmark destination befitting the UK’s second high speed rail line.”
Can I suggest that we all email [email protected] and ask that they put a glass roof over the platforms to let natural light in as previous plans for Euston had offices and apartments ontop leading to something resembling Birmingham New St.
