Transit takes a break By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The Town of Oakville said it didn't just want a square box building as a convenience facility for their Oakville Transit staff at the Trafalgar Road/ Dundas Street terminal. As such the designer gave them something a bit more eye-catching. In January, the Town of Oakville completed construction of their Uptown Core Transit Terminal. The purpose of the facility is nothing spectacular, simply giving Oakville Transit staff and drivers a place to access washrooms, eat meals and relax on their breaks. The design of the building, however, is unique. "Designed with a number of sustainable features, sculptural and angled, (the building) is inspired by the image of a fast moving bus," said Tania Bortolotto, president of Bortolotto, the architecture firm, which designed the building. "We were excited to work with the Town on this project, designed specifically to give the Town's bus 7 · Thursday, June 7, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com drivers a place to regroup." Oakville Transit Acting-Director Debbie Dalle Vedove said the contract for the facility was put up for tender -- the architect chosen and the design selected. "This is the design the architectural company came up with. We did say we didn't just want a square box," said Dalle Vedove. "We wanted something that was pleasing to the eye." Town staff said a convenience facility for Oakville Transit staff is nothing new, with another structure of this type in place at the Oakville GO Station. The cost of the facility at the Trafalgar Road/ Dundas Street terminal was approximately $500,000. The inside of the building is not as interesting as the outside, said Dalle Vedove, as it simply features washrooms, places to sit, tables, a fridge and a microwave.
