As restoration architect for the original head house,
DHK (in joint venture with The Stubbins Associates)
was responsible for the shell of the building—much
of which had to be reconstructed. This included the
long-missing west wing, parts of the crumbling east
wing, a brand new concourse, new ticket, waiting, and
platform areas, plus five stories of office space in
both wings. The project also included realignment of
the railroad tracks for more efficient service and a
new underground connection to the adjacent subway station
(also restored by the joint venture under a separate contract).
When rededicated, South Station received accolades for being
"a truly public space," and today, nearly 15,000 travelers
pass through this grand space each day.
