Hamilton Bus Station
Austin-Smith:Lord was appointed in September 2009 to undertake a feasibility study for the redevelopment of Hamilton Bus Station and through a competitive tendering process were retained to develop the design of the 17 stance bus station to completion.
The project also included a pedestrian concourse, internal waiting, ticket office, toilets, staff facilities and provision for a 118sqm retail unit and reconfiguration of adjoining car park and associated road access network.
As a Client I was impressed with how Austin-Smith:Lord quickly fully understood the Client requirement and priorities to ensure a successful conclusion to the project.
