First Place

Designer: Sean Morrissey

Jury Comments:

  • Lighted countdown feature is well a integrated and attractive addition.
  • Considered the most urban and edgy design of the submissions that is truly a product and reflection of its time.
  • Concrete design may look too heavy while glass panels may be inviting to vandalism.

Third Place

Designer: Darin Lanich

Jury Comments:

  • Reflects the design of the Downtown Transit Center with an attractive swoop in the roof.
  • A well detailed plan of amenities that leads to a safe, believable, accessible, mature design.
  • Felt too heavy but could be lightened by changes in structure material and the addition of colors to signify the line.

This competition was to foster creative design solutions for the 28 rapid transit stations along Phase 1 of the Red Line Rapid Transit (BRT) route, Participants were asked to consider how the station design would maximize rider benefits, reflect the culture of Indianapolis, maintain safety, be cost effective, and encourage multimodalism while being a part of a functional, effective, and reliable transit system. The winning design will be further developed into the final station design to be used along the Red Line.
