Mirabeau Point Park and Ride has grown to be an important hub for Spokane Transit creating the need for a more prominent architecture providing coverage, seating opportunities, wayfinding, and bus charging. This expansion will offer more capacity for transit vehicles and more parking spaces for patrons. The canopy is a singular roof form cladded with cedar giving a warm and inviting feeling to the riders. The vertical glass panels provide protection from the weather while also providing transparency and safety. The masonry spire anchors one end of the canopy reaching up vertically as a wayfinding beacon. The material selection pays homage to the industrial railroad history through the use of steel, masonry, and wood cladding.
