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
69 degrees, Sunny, Santa Ana, CA
