CATA East Lansing Transportation Gateway, Michigan
DLZ was the prime architecture and engineering design consultant for the new CATA East Lansing Transportation Gateway in East Lansing, Michigan. The new transit center serves Amtrak and multiple intercity bus service providers.
The design process included input from several project stakeholders including the Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA), Michigan State University, the City of East Lansing, Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), Amtrak, and others. The project was funded through a Federal Transit Administration Livability Grant and MDOT.
