The UB Small Built Works program at the University at Buffalo has unveiled eight new train station designs, the result of a four-semester project. Over the course of four semesters, students in the program worked together to create these visions for the train stations. The presentation of these designs is a significant step forward for Buffalo's transportation infrastructure.
The designs were presented on May 8, 2026, and are part of an effort to revitalize Buffalo's train stations.

The UB Small Built Works program is known for its innovative approaches to design and architecture. The program's focus on train station design is particularly relevant for Buffalo, given the city's rich railroad history.
The city's train stations have been in need of renovation for some time, and these new designs offer a glimpse into what the future of Buffalo's transportation infrastructure could look like. The Delaware Avenue train station, for example, could be transformed into a vibrant hub of activity, with shops and restaurants catering to commuters.
The impact of these new designs will be felt by South Buffalo commuters, who will have access to more convenient and efficient transportation options. Downtown Buffalo businesses will also benefit from the increased foot traffic and accessibility.
As the city moves forward with its transportation plans, residents can expect to see significant improvements in the coming years. The next step will be to review and refine the designs, with a meeting scheduled for later this month to discuss the project's progress.
