Gary Train Station

          Northwest Indiana is home to the shrinking environment of the National Lake Shore’s sand dunes, wetlands, and forests—an ecosystem that once thrived throughout the area that is now Gary. As a result of introducing the steel mill, the unique ecosystems were drained and demolished.

          The construction of this transit station reintroduces those environments to Gary and promotes awareness of the area’s rich environmental history. Sand-dune-inspired geometry restores a small part of Gary’s once beautiful ecosystem with native trees and plants. This transit station provides efficient transportation for commuters, while the buildings and site also serve as a hub to educate locals and visitors.
