Overcoming under and above ground challenges for increased pedestrian safety.
Along with the new Pedestrian Bridge, the Ground Transportation Center connects the Detroit Metropolitan Airport's North Terminal with the newly expanded Blue Parking Deck, providing a location for passenger drop off/pick up by commercial transportation. As Engineer of Record, Ruby+Associates provided structural design to Barton Malow Design. Challenges included numerous underground and above ground site interferences, and large lateral load contributions from the adjoining pedestrian bridge.
