The Station at Cochrane Crossing

A welcoming hub where Cochrane gathers, connects, and looks ahead.

At the heart of town, The Station at Cochrane Crossing is more than a transit hub—it’s a front door to the community. Designed as an inclusive civic space, it brings essential services closer to the people who use them most, while creating new opportunities to gather, learn, and connect.

The Station is alive with activity. Seniors join wellness classes, entrepreneurs and local groups collaborate in flexible spaces, and travellers pause in a bright, welcoming environment that reflects the rhythm of everyday life in Cochrane. Universally accessible and community-driven, it’s a place designed for people, not just for passing through.

The building itself tells part of Cochrane’s story. A mass timber structure wrapped in glass reveals both strength and openness, nodding to the town’s sawmill roots while embracing a modern, forward-looking identity. Warm wood and natural light create a space that feels both rooted in history and inspired by possibility.

By bringing together transit, tourism, small business supports, and civic programming under one roof, The Station makes it easier for people to participate fully in community life. And with an eye to the future, it’s also designed as a link in the anticipated Calgary-to-Banff passenger rail connection—an investment in both regional growth and Alberta’s tourism future.

The Station at Cochrane Crossing is more than infrastructure. It’s a vibrant gathering place where people come together to build community, strengthen connections, and imagine what comes next.
