The Penrose Tiling pattern was designed by Sir Roger Penrose and he gifted its use to the center.
SAN FRANCISCO—The newly constructed Salesforce Transit Center replaces the previously seismically deficient Transbay Terminal. It is designed to withstand an 8.0-magnitude earthquake on the San Andreas Fault, so it can immediately serve the public after an emergency.
The transit center was built by Webcor/Obayashi Joint Venture and designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. Arup's San Francisco office provided complete civil, geotechnical and bridge/highway engineering design services for the project.
