As part of a Design-Build team for the first LIRR Enhanced Station Initiative package, Urbahn served as the architect for three Long Island commuter rail stations at East Hampton, Dear Park and Brentwood. To help complete this Governor’s initiative project within an 11-month window from award to construction completion, Urbahn provided accelerated design services, completing the various station design documents in 3 to 5 months. The project scope involved restoring to a state of good repair the character defining architectural fabric as well as updating the stations with a range of contemporary finishes and systems. A range of improvements were employed to upgrade facilities and reinforce the LIRR brand identity, including restoration of exterior envelopes and platform canopies, modernization of station house interiors, static and digital customer information elements, LED lighting, and a variety of customer amenities.
