The project’s vision is to expand the capabilities of an existing operational railway campus by providing a historically-inspired roundhouse, complete with a working turntable. The challenge is a technical one of parameters, scale, and safety. Designing a space for people is entirely different when shared with objects that are each 16’ tall, 80’ long and contain 150,000 lbs. of moveable steel. The process has uncovered the complexity of this unique problem to be best tackled through trial, error and continuous study. We are still in the iterative process for this ongoing project.
