Metalwërks Paneling Adorns Stamford Station, Providing Protection and Looks
Historic, high-traffic transit hub in I-95 corridor receives solid metal cladding that performs and protects
Metalwërks announced the inclusion of its Sculpted 3D in the recently constructed parking garage of Connecticut’s historic Stamford Station, part of a massive overhaul of this key link in rail traffic in the region. In total, crews installed 66,000 square feet of the bold three-dimensional forms on the facility’s exterior. Installation of the unitized façade panels and support steel was performed by Mohawk Construction and Viking Erectors of McMurray, Pennsylvania.
Renowned for its strategic location for commuters into and out of New York’s five boroughs and beyond, Stamford Station sees more than $30 million in ticket revenue, 269,000 Amtrak riders and 8.4 million Metro North riders each year. It also serves as a bus terminal for Greyhound, Peter Pan and CTtransit. For the station’s renovation, the Connecticut Department of Transportation selected Metalwërks as a pre-approved fabricator for the building’s façade. After tendering design and cost proposals, Metalwërks was selected by the design-build contractor, Yonkers Contracting, Inc.
