Aberdeen Station remodel to boost civic presence
July 3 2018
A major remodeling of Aberdeen Station’s Union Square front entrance has been proposed as part of a wider programme of improvements commissioned by site owner Abellio Scotrail.
The fifth busiest station in Scotland was last remodeled in 2008 during construction of an interconnecting Union Square shopping mall but has been criticised for it inactive frontage and absence of clear identification.
The chosen solution will introduce floor level retail as well as installing more legible signage to signpost the station entrance, which will sit below a new branded canopy.
“This language of ‘wrapping’ and connection is continued through the glazing. The proposal is to extend the glazing of the existing entrance, by removing a portion of the existing granite panels, to meet the top line of glazing at the first floor.”
