In an effort to combine public art with sustainable passenger resources, Long Beach Transit selected STV for the renovation and transformation of the Long Beach Transit Mall, a series of transit stations under refurbishment in advance of the 2028 Summer Olympics. As the area’s first “street transit gallery,” the transit mall includes eight bus shelters along the three-block-long corridor that integrate functionality with artful design.
As lead designer and architect, STV prepared schematic designs to include real-time digital information screens, ample seating and upgraded LED illumination. To complement nearby public art installations, STV’s design used recycled tile mosaics, energy-conserving illumination, and sustainable landscaping along the corridor.
The finished project celebrates the community with local art and seaside influences while transporting passengers through the heart of the city.
