| Trenton Train Station
Proposal Trenton, New Jersey Back to project thumbnail gallery Back to Firm Overview CLIENT: NJ Transit One Penn Plaza East Newark, NJ 07105-2246 CONSTRUCTION COST:$250,000,000 CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION DATE:1993 DiGeronimo, P.A. developed an opportunity to lead Trenton into the 21st Century using the NJ Transit's planned renovation of it's Trenton Rail Station as the vehicle. As it stands now, Trenton is an amalgamation of the old with the new, colonial and contemporary structures standing side by side, sometimes blending, in other situations conflicting, but never offering a statement regarding Trenton's future as a center of government in the 21st Century.
DiGeronimo perceived a willingness on the part of NJ Transit to entertain new ideas. So we proceeded with our thoughts, encompassed in the vision of SPANNING THE FUTURE, but we did not stop there for we realize all may not be possible. We took a mental flight back to the 1890's and developed a scheme suitable to reflect that period. We took similar looks at the 1920's, a contemporary version, and a small departure to the present scheme.
In all, we submitted five design schemes with the same intent-to provide NJ Transit with a vehicle to make a statement, however large, however modest, however it chooses, for the future.
