In the future, subway stations will be not only transportation facilities, but also bicycle parking spots, coffee shops and public toilets. Yesterday, Guangzhou Metro launched a competition for convenient facilities at three stations on Line 11, and plans to take the lead in testing the water at Yangang, Sha Chung and Da Admiralty stations, bringing convenient commerce and small public service settings into the design of subway station entrances and exits and wind pavilions (ventilation facilities) to create an iconic micro-city landscape.

Three stations on Line 11 try the water.

The competition notice posted by Guangzhou Metro pointed out that according to the minutes of the fourth meeting of the Chairman Committee of Guangzhou City Planning Commission in 2016, it is required to integrate wind pavilions and entrances with small buildings, and to set up convenient facilities with functions such as bicycle parking, coffee shops and convenience stores. To this end, Guangzhou Metro launched the competition of convenient facilities at Yangang, Sha Chung and Da Admiralty stations on Line 11, combined with entrances and wind pavilions, covering an area of no more than 400m2 and a construction area of no more than 1200 square meters (including subway entrances and kiosks). The number of floors is not more than 3 floors and the total height is not more than 15 meters. The main purpose of the design is to quickly evacuate the flow of people and serve traffic. In the surrounding areas where there is a lack of convenient and public services, we should build convenient facilities, integrate subway entrances and exits and wind kiosks in accordance with the relevant planning requirements.

There may be public toilets and police rooms in the future.

The convenient facilities of the MTR station are all located on the ground level. Where are they located? The notice pointed out that Yangang Station is a transfer station for Line 11 and Guangfo Line, with a total of four entrances and exits, and convenient facilities are set up in combination with entrance Ⅱ and No. 2 Wind Pavilion.

The announcement shows that the architectural design of convenient facilities should meet the requirements of the planning and design standards of the city, including convenient commerce, bicycle parking, coffee shops, convenience stores and other functions. "consideration can be given to configuring some small public services, such as public toilets, police rooms, traffic police lounges, sanitation workers' lounges, and so on." In terms of architectural style, it is necessary to combine the local cultural and climatic characteristics to design the architectural shape, architectural facade and architectural facade as a whole.
