Windham is a town southwest of Albany with a population of 1,700. The area is known for recreation nearby including hiking, skiing and mountain biking. The site is at the intersection of  state highway 23 and Church Street. Local bus lines across county stop here along with the  Trailways bus line. The existing gas station and garage has 8 gas pumps and a convenience store.

Design goals:

• Adapt the existing station as a mobility hub.

• Provide an addition on the second floor with a cafe and outdoor seating areas for people waiting to transfer or to charge their EVs.

• Add bike share station.

• Design for solar power with panels added to the roof and the canopy.

• Landscape features to soften hard surfaces and permeable paving to absorb rain.

The design is the renovation of the existing station into a mobility hub that serves the area. A mobility hub is a community facility to support residents by bringing together public transit, bike share, ride sharing and other means of transportation. EV charging is also located for those without convenient charging at home or traveling through the area. A cafe with indoor and outdoor seating provides a place to wait while changing modes of transit or charging an EV. The transformation would demonstrate the commitment to transit and electric vehicles. In the rural area the design provides a gradual transition, leaving the gas pumps available.
