Brick, stone, glass, and metal form the palette of the station, which relates to the adjacent community's existing buildings and creates a strong civic presence along Bergenline Avenue.
Sited atop the Palisades, the Bergenline Avenue Tunnel Station is one of 12 nodes along the Hudson Bergen Light Rail Transit System. FXCollaborative followed design guidelines intended to maintain consistency among stations while also responding to contextual cues such as scale and material use, defining a palette of brick, stone, glass, and metal. An expansive plaza at street level provides a public face for the station, and access to the platform, located 160 feet below grade, is gained through elevators enclosed within a brick and glass headhouse structure. It is flanked by a sleek glass canopy and vent stacks, which are subtly lit during evening hours.
