Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center

ARTIC is a stunning nearby landmark, about 12 miles from home.

Driving on the 57 freeway it is across the freeway from 

Angel Stadium and next door-ish to Honda Center.

I watched it being built in 2013, fascinated by the cocoon look. 

I had an earlier ARTIC blog here.

Completed in 2014, the three-story, 67,000 square-foot mass, modern marvel transit hub – whose entrance is a 120-foot-tall glass wall – evokes an old airship hanger (like those at the Tustin MCAS) more than a railroad depot.
 

ARTIC was designed by FAIA architect Ernest Cirangle of HOK’s Los Angeles studio. Its curved, grid-like shell is covered with air-filled plastic “pillows” to diffuse the sunlight streaming into the interior – an approach previously used in sports stadiums throughout the world.

The LEED Platinum-certified facility – partially solar-powered and built using recycled construction materials – is part of Anaheim’s future, an anchor to the city’s growing Platinum Triangle District, east of the resort district. It replaced the Amtrak train station built in the 1980s, with a price tag of over $185 million. If high-speed rail ever reaches Orange County, it’ll come through here. It’ll also provide essential access to the Anaheim-based venues for the  

2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
