University Street is a light rail and bus station that is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel in Seattle, Washington. The station is located under 3rd Avenue at University Street, between Westlake and Pioneer Square stations. It is served by the Central Link, part of Sound Transit's Link light rail system, as well as buses from King County Metro and Sound Transit Express.

The station consists of two side platforms situated under street level, with two mezzanines connecting to the surface. It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture and includes several pieces of public art added during construction and later additions. The transit tunnel opened on September 15, 1990, and was used exclusively by buses until until 2009. Along with all other stations in the transit tunnel, University Street station was closed from 2005 to 2007 for a major renovation to accommodate light rail. Link light rail service to the station began on July 18, 2009. Trains and buses serve the station 20 hours a day on most days; the headway between light rail trains is 6 minutes during peak periods, with less frequent service at other times.

Location

University Street station is located under 3rd Avenue between Union and Seneca streets in Downtown Seattle;[2] the area is part of the Metropolitan Tract, an area of downtown that is owned by, and was originally home to, the University of Washington.[3] The area surrounding the station primarly consists of high-rise office buildings and some mixed-use development, providing 102,194 jobs and housing a population of 13,813 within a 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) of 3rd Avenue and University Street.[4] Major buildings in the immediate vicinity of University Street station include Benaroya Hall and 1201 Third Avenue (formerly Washington Mutual Tower) on the west side of the station and the historic Seattle Tower and Cobb Building on the east side. The Seattle Art Museum and the Harbor Steps are located two blocks west of the station at the intersection near 1st Avenue, above the Seattle Waterfront and Seattle Aquarium.[5] The 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle Central Library, Rainier Square shopping center, and Union Square are all located east of the station along 5th Avenue.[2][6][7]

History

Early proposals

The Metropolitan Tract, historically the northern boundary of downtown Seattle during its early decades, was offered for development shortly after the University of Washington moved its campus to the north side of Portage Bay (modern day University District) in 1895. The university's Board of Regents voted to lease the land to private developers in 1902, beginning a construction boom in the area under the direction of the Metropolitan Building Company.[8] In 1911, Virgil Bogue presented a comprehensive plan for the city of Seattle, including a rapid transit system centered around a "trunk" subway under 3rd Avenue, passing through Downtown and the Metropolitan Tract, towards a new civic center in modern-day Belltown.[9][10] The plan was rejected by voters on March 5, 1912,[11] and the 3rd Avenue subway was unsuccessfully proposed twice in the 1920s.[12][13]

In the late 1960s, the Forward Thrust Committee put forward a ballot measure to fund a rapid transit system in the Seattle metropolitan area, including a downtown subway under 3rd Avenue with a station between Seneca and Spring streets.[14][15][16] The ballot measure, requiring a supermajority to support bonding to augment $385 million in local funding with $765 million from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, failed to reach the 60 percent threshold in 1968 and again during a second vote in 1970.[17][18] The failure of the Forward Thrust ballot measures led to the creation of Metro Transit in 1972, operating bus service across King County.[19]

Bus tunnel

Metro Transit began planning a bus tunnel through downtown Seattle in the 1970s, to be eventually converted to use by light rail trains. Metro approved the construction of a bus tunnel under 3rd Avenue in 1983,[20] and chose the intersection of 3rd Avenue and University Street as the site of one of the tunnel's five stations.[21] The station at University Street, replacing two separate stations at Union and Madison streets, would be excavated cut-and-cover and be completed by late 1989.[22][23]

Excavation of the downtown bus tunnel began in early 1987, and construction reached the University Street area later that year.[24] The twin tunnel boring machines used to excavate the tunnel reached University Street in October 1987, and continued north towards Westlake station.[25][26] In December, Metro agreed to pay $2.4 million to real estate developer Marathon Company for use of a city block they owned adjacent to the station for equipment staging and storage, delaying the planned construction of office buildings on the site.[27] During excavation and construction of the University Street tunnel station, cracks and minor settling were found in the historic Seattle Tower, located nearby.[25] The ground around the tower was later stabilized to prevent additional settlement,[28] and was renovated with private funding in 1990.[29]

In March 1989, the first buses were tested in the tunnel; University Street station was only 75 percent complete, and buses had to drive under scaffolding and construction equipment while passing through the station.[30] Tunnel construction was completed in June 1990,[31] and a soft opening for University Street station was held on August 9, 1990.[32] Bus service in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel began on September 15, 1990, with several Metro bus routes moved into the tunnel from surface streets.[33] All service on routes using the tunnel was operated by dual-mode buses, which operated as diesel buses outside the tunnel and electrically, as trolleybuses, when inside the tunnel. During its early months, University Street and other stations were affected by serious water leaks, which splashed water onto walkways during the tunnel's first winter in operation. The leaks were later fixed by Metro contractors.[34][35]

In 1994, the Seattle Symphony selected a city block adjacent to University Street station, used during tunnel construction for equipment staging and storage, as the site of their new concert hall.[36] The building, later named Benaroya Hall, required the closure of the station's 2nd Avenue entrance.[37] The entrance was re-opened in 1998, at the same time the new hall was inaugurated.[38]

Light rail

In the early 1990s, a regional transit authority (RTA) was formed to plan and construct a light rail system for the Seattle area. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1995, regional voters passed a $3.9 billion plan to build light rail under the RTA in 1996.[39] The downtown transit tunnel had already been planned for eventual light rail use and was built with tracks that would be incorporated into the initial system.[40][41] The RTA, later renamed Sound Transit, approved the tunnel as part of the route of its initial light rail line in 1999.[42] Ownership of the tunnel, including its stations, was transferred to Sound Transit in 2000 but returned two years later to King County Metro under a joint-operations agreement.[43][44]

The downtown transit tunnel closed on September 23, 2005, for a two-year, $82.7 million renovation to accommodate light rail vehicles. The renovation included the installation of new rails, a lowered roadbed at stations for level boarding, new signalling systems and emergency ventilation.[45][46] The tunnel reopened on September 24, 2007,[47] and Link light rail service began on July 18, 2009, from Westlake station to Tukwila International Boulevard station.[48][49]

In 2019, the downtown transit tunnel is planned to lose its bus service due to construction at Convention Place station. The tunnel will become served exclusively by light rail trains, which will include expanded service to Northgate in 2021.[50][51]

Naming

University Street station is named after University Street, itself named for the original campus of the University of Washington before it moved in 1895.[3] Metro discussed renaming the station for the Seattle Art Museum after it moved to the area in 1991, but took no action.[52]

In 2012, Sound Transit adopted names for light rail stations in the University District, near the current University of Washington campus, including "University of Washington" and "U District" stations.[53] The similarity between the three stations' names has led to public confusion, and calls to rename University Street station after Benaroya Hall or the Seattle Symphony.[54][55]

University Street station was designed in a high-tech motif to complement the modernist architecture found in 1980s-era office buildings in the adjacent Financial District; architectural elements were used to create the desired atmosphere in the station, including linear stainless steel light fixtures over the platforms, glass railings on the mezzanines, and colorful granite to highlight platform benches and information signs.[2][56] The station has two side platforms located below two mezzanines at the north and south ends of the station box: the north mezzanine is accessible through the parking garage of the Cobb Building at 3rd Avenue and Seneca Street as well as the west side of Benaroya Hall at 2nd Avenue and University Street, connected through a level walkway underneath the venue; the south mezzanine is accessible from a single entrance located in 1201 Third Avenue near 3rd Avenue and Seneca Street.[2] University Street station is approximately 570 feet (170 m) long, 70 feet (21 m) wide, and 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m) deep.[57]

The station is situated above the Great Northern Tunnel, a century-old rail tunnel, which passes under with a clearance of approximately 15 feet (4.6 m).[58] Both tunnels factored into the architecture of nearby Benaroya Hall, which has an auditorium that rests on rubber bearings to insulate from vibrations and a 6-foot-thick (1.8 m) concrete slab to minimize sound.[38]

Art

University Street station, like other stations in the downtown transit tunnel, is furnished with several pieces of public art that is integrated into its design by architect Mark Spitzer and lead artist Vicki Scuri.[56]

"The Beltline", designed by Scuri, runs along the platform and consists of colored granite arranged in patterns that highlight passenger amenities, including information panels and benches. The benches themselves have computer-generated dot matrix patterns sandblasted into the seats.[56][59] Some of the granite originally purchased for use in "The Beltline" originated in South Africa, then under a Metro-sanctioned boycott over its Apartheid policies; the discovery fueled a minor scandal that resulted in the resignation of Metro's executive director, while the granite would be replaced with another type.[60]

At the south mezzanine is Robert Teeple's "The Southern Lights", a series of fourteen LED screens that show animated symbols and phrases in a commentary on the increasing influence of computers in human life. The symbols range from human faces to animals and astrological signs;[59] the phrases, displayed in both English and Spanish, are randomly generated from using sets of four words that allow for 1.2 million possible combinations.[32][56] The north mezzanine has "The Northern Lights" by Bill Bell, a series of 24 embedded lights that form patterns when the eyes of viewers move rapidly from side to side. The patterns include images related to transportation and finance, including trolleys, airplanes, coins and the dollar sign.[56][59]

Two of the station's entrances and stairways are home to the silhouettes of and sentence-long quotes from A.H. Albertson, architect of the nearby Seattle Tower, and humanitarian activist Flo Ware.[2][56] At the corner of 3rd Avenue and University Street is a 14-foot-tall (4.3 m) pendulum clock known as "Hickory-Dickory Dock Clock", designed by Heather Ramsay with references to the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock", including a brass mouse running up its side.[56]

The Benaroya Hall entrance to University Street station, built in 1998 for the new venue, is decorated with a series of art pieces by Erin Shie Palmer known collectively as the "Temple of Music".[61] The walkway's walls are sandblasted with images that begin as an abstract musical score derived from Robert Fludd's "Temple of Music" and morph into pixellated patterns as it approaches the station mezzanine. The walkway's handrails are etched with Braille text and voiceprints, and end in sculpted depictions of a violin and a microphone.[56][62]

The station's pictogram, a pair of theater spectacles, represents the neighborhood's connections to the arts. It was created in 2009 by Christian French as part of the Stellar Connections series and its points represent nearby destinations, including Benaroya Hall, the Seattle Art Museum, the Central Library, and the 5th Avenue Theatre.[63]

Services

University Street station is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel and is located mid-way between the tunnel's termini, Convention Place and International District/Chinatown stations, each two stations away. The tunnel is also part of Sound Transit's Central Link line, which runs from the University of Washington campus to Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. University Street is the twelfth northbound station from Angle Lake station and third southbound station from University of Washington station, situated between Pioneer Square and Westlake stations. Central Link trains serve University Street 20 hours a day on weekdays and Saturdays, from 5:00 am to 1:00 am, and 18 hours on Sundays, from 6:00 am to 12:00 am; during regular weekday service, trains operate roughly every 6 to 10 minutes during rush hour and midday operation, respectively, with longer headways of 15 minutes in the early morning and 20 minutes at night. During weekends, Central Link trains arrive at University Street station every 10 minutes during midday hours and every 15 minutes during mornings and evenings. The station is approximately 35 minutes from SeaTac and three minutes from Westlake.[64][65]

In addition to light rail service, University Street station and the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel are served by six King County Metro bus routes and one Sound Transit Express bus route. The bus routes are divided into three bays by their outbound direction: Bay A is served by three routes heading north toward Northgate and the University District and east towards Kirkland (routes 41, 74 and 255); Bay C is served by three routes heading south through the SODO Busway toward Kent and Renton (routes 101, 102 and 150); and Bay D is served by one route heading east via Interstate 90 to Bellevue (Sound Transit Express route 550).[66]

University Street station is adjacent to four surface bus stops on 3rd Avenue near its entrances, served by several King County Metro routes and three RapidRide lines: the C Line to West Seattle and South Lake Union, the D Line to Ballard and the E Line on Aurora Avenue North to Shoreline.[67] The area is also served by two east–west routes (routes 2 and 12) that travel towards First Hill and eastern Seattle.[66]

During closures of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel and University Street station, tunnel buses are rerouted onto the surface; southbound buses stop at 2nd Avenue and Seneca Street, while northbound buses stop on 4th Avenue between University and Union streets. King County Metro also runs a special route, the Route 97 Link Shuttle, between all Link light rail stations during service disruptions, stopping on 3rd Avenue between University and Union streets to serve the station.[68]
