The Station at Cochrane Crossing

Cochrane, AB

The Cochrane Transit Hub, designed as a civic gateway, emphasizes the use of wood to reflect the town’s heritage while serving modern transit needs. Heavy timber glulam beams form the structure’s exposed "bones," offering both aesthetic appeal and functional shelter for transit users. These beams, visible through extensive glazing, cantilever into the north and south plazas, connecting the building to the surrounding public space. The Hub, which unites local and regional transit services, including future rail links, integrates wood as a nod to Cochrane’s history, with the nearby Spray Lake Sawmills playing a key role in the town’s identity. By incorporating wood, brick, and glass, the design ties into Cochrane’s architectural heritage, while fostering a vibrant, accessible civic space that promotes movement and connection.
