The Station Revival Center restores a derelict train station into the crucial hub it once was by creating a wellness center for the community in West Oakland. The new center offers culinary training and cooking for local youth as well as a basketball court at the heart of the station. The West Oakland Bike Link Project extends to and winds through the building creating a connection to an existing bike path infrastructure in East Bay. The Station Revival Center mitigates the isolating effects of adjacent I-880 Freeway and BART tracks by reconnecting West Oakland’s communities to the greater Bay Area.
