The facility is a two-story, 10,300 square foot building which serves 4.5 million of DATA’s 5 million annual passengers. Durham Station has 20 canopied bus bays, six parking spaces for taxicabs, disability parking, and short-term parking as well as bicycle racks and a drop-off location for "kiss and ride."
The design of Durham Station references the City of Durham’s rich cultural history by using materials selected to respect the visual and tactile texture of masonry found in Durham’s tobacco warehouses. The design incorporates these materials and renders them in a more contemporary industrial aesthetic, while embracing the equally strong tradition of innovation and progress. The predominantly glass exterior walls offer a secure environment, visibility of transportation activity, and views of the downtown area, Historic American Tobacco, West Village, and the surrounding areas. Articulated metal roof forms, masonry, and concrete embrace the location’s industrial context while acknowledging the dynamic movement of Durham Station’s transit program and its adjacent intermodal transit facilities.
The $17.6 million project was made possible by a combination of city, state, and federal funding and was completed in February 2009.
