Evergreen Line, Vancouver

VIA Architecture have been selected as part of the Owner's Engineer team to be lead architects and lead urban designers for the $1.4 Billion Evergreen Line. This completes the firm's long history of working at bringing transit to the northeast sector of Metro Vancouver.

The Evergreen Line is a planned 10.9 kilometre (6.8 mi) long rapid transit line in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It will run from Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain station in Burnaby through Port Moody to Coquitlam. The goal of this project is to boost projected ridership by adding capacity, speed and integrating the system with the Millennium line to reduce the number of times users need to change systems.
