16th St./Mission St.
Station NE Plaza
Wong led the design efforts and construction management including
support during construction of the 16th Street/Mission Street
BART Northeast Plaza Improvements Project that was completed in
the third quarter of 2006. Wong prepared the structural and electrical
design and construction documents in-house while the sub-consultants
assigned to the Wong Team prepared the architectural, civil, and
artwork construction documents. The work included preparation
of a site survey, demolition of the existing features, design
of drainage, irrigation, water services, structural design of
new stairwell perimeter walls, electrical power and lighting,
and landscaping including selection of palm trees and granite
paving material. The work also included the preparation of construction
staging and patron access drawings, coordination with City agencies,
community, adherence to the City's ADA requirements, and artist
providing artwork for the plaza.
Close coordination and cooperation with the many stakeholders
including the 16th Street Community Advisory Committee was an
essential part of the design process. Meetings with a BART Director,
City agencies, and community groups at various design stages were
conducted. The in-progress design was presented at each of the
workshop meetings to solicit comments to each major aspect of
the design. Constructive suggestions were taken under advisement.
Many of the ideas presented were incorporated into the final design
of the Plaza. The community provided many lessons learned along
with valuable insight to the problems encountered at the previously
constructed Southwest Plaza renovation.
Visitors and patrons using the Plaza see the art sculpture "HOME"
by Cork Marcheschi, placed on top of the plaza elevator, the restored
Youth Mural "Voices" created in 1999 by Urban Artworks,
and the beautiful decorative metal fencing around the station
entrance created by Victor Mario Zaballa who was part of the Wong
Team.
The design work and preparation of the construction documents
were prepared in accordance with the BART Facility Standards and
Specifications. The Wong Team supported the District's advertisement
and bid processes for fixed scope Public Works contract.
The project was completed on schedule and within budget.
