But the whodunnit is perhaps less interesting than the howdunnit, and the what-got-dun.

The Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the designers, and multiple contractors are likely to sue one another. This weekend, buses and passengers will finally roll into the Transbay Terminal again. And the agencies responsible for constructing the new building set out to understand what happened and what to do about it. In late September 2018, buses from 11 regional transit systems-from Marin County to the north, Berkeley and Oakland to the east, the peninsula to the south-rerouted to the utilitarian, parking lot-like, temporary facility they had used since 2010, when the original terminal closed after seven decades of service. So about six weeks after the long-delayed terminal opened, it closed. He writes about science and miscellaneous geekery for WIRED. The proposed energy systems for the Transit Center support the sustainable project goals by concentrating on designs that utilize low-impact strategies such as geothermal, natural ventilation, radiant systems, daylighting/shading solutions, and thermal mass coupling.Adam Rogers is the author of Proof: The Science of Booze. The areas of integrated sustainable design the project is focusing on include water/rainwater management, abundant use of natural daylight, reducing overall energy usage, and application of recycled materials to cut down on construction waste. The project is Pre-Certified LEED Platinum. We are assisting with required LEED® accreditation input and certification, with environmental performance being a central theme to the project. Our firm serves as the engineer-of-record on the project’s transit terminal, the proposed five-acre public rooftop park and the adjacent Salesforce Tower. WSP is part of the team that won the original design competition for the Salesforce Transit Center, designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects.

The Salesforce Transit Center is located in the South-of-Market district of San Francisco and will accommodate 11 transportation systems under one roof.
