The park has been conceived of as a multifunctional space providing respite, activity, and education for transit users and local residents alike. Reaching from the park, down through the bus deck and Grand Hall, and all the way to the train platforms two stories below grade, this dramatic structure provides light and long views to all areas of the Transit Center. The largest Light Column forms the central element of the 36-meter tall (118-feet tall) Grand Hall, the Transit Center’s primary public space. Tall, structurally expressive skylights - “Light Columns” - bring sunshine deep into the building, creating a vibrant, inviting atmosphere. Within the Transit Center, the space is open and light-filled. At street level, shops and cafes draw visitors and energize the surrounding neighborhood, while high above, the trees and flowers of the rooftop park invite people to visit for longer periods, transforming the Transit Center from a commuter hub to an urban destination. A gently undulating wall, floating above the street on angled steel columns, is visible from afar, creating a graceful, luminous, and welcoming image.

The new Transit Center stretches for five blocks along Mission Street, one block south of the city’s Financial District.
