West Midlands Combined Authority appointed VolkerFitzpatrick to undertake the detailed design and build of the new, £56m University Station.
Birmingham’s University Station has seen an in excess of 700 percent increase in passenger numbers since opening in 1978. VolkerFitzpatrick delivered the detailed design and build of the new station. It provides an attractive modern gateway into the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus and nearby hospital site, it supports regeneration activities in the area, increases passenger capacity and provides improved access to the rail network.
The new railway station building features wider platforms, lifts, a ticket office, provision for a retail unit, canopy coverage along the platforms and a direct link with the University of Birmingham campus via a new pedestrian canal bridge. The existing station building was retained as a passenger exit from the station.
