Critical Juncture: Revitalizing Baltimore's Penn Station with MagLev
(2017) Alli, Sarah Roetzel; Tilghman, James W; Architecture; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
This thesis seeks to examine what happens when a purposeful intervention is made at Baltimore’s Penn Station, an intervention that accommodates Mag-Lev Rail as part of the Northeast Corridor. With an augmented and fully integrated mass transit system, Penn Station can become an important economic node for the city and the Greater Baltimore Region. The expansion of the station and the design of the surrounding plazas can revitalize the urban fabric and make Penn Station a destination unto itself.
