Design
Built in the Brutalist architectural style between 1968 and 1969, designed by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership with E. H. Stazicker, it has a capacity of 80 double-decker buses, 40 along each side of the building. Some claim that it is the second largest bus station in Western Europe. Pedestrian access to the Bus Station is through any of three subways, one of which links directly to the adjacent Guild Hall, while the design also incorporates a multi-storey car park of five floors with space for 1,100 cars.
The building's engineers, Ove Arup and Partners, designed the distinctive curve of the car park balconies "after acceptable finishes to a vertical wall proved too expensive, contributing to the organic, sculptural nature of the building. The edges are functional, too, in that they protect car bumpers from crashing against a vertical wall. The cover balustrade protects passengers from the weather by allowing buses to penetrate beneath the lower parking floor."
Threatened demolition
The building is threatened with demolition as part of the City Council's Tithebarn redevelopment project. In 2000, opposition to the demolition led to a failed application for listed building status by English Heritage. Preston Borough Council (as it was then known) opposed the application.
Putting forward the case for a smaller terminus, a report, commissioned by the council and Grosvenor in 2000, stated that "buses arriving and leaving the bus station have very low bus occupancy rates indicating that passengers alight and board elsewhere in the town centre. The bus station car park similarly suffers from the poor pedestrian linkages." Listing was subsequently rejected.
On October 11, 2005, Preston City Council and developer Grosvenor Holdings signed an agreement to go ahead with the Tithebarn redevelopment project, which calls for the demolition of the current bus station.
A survey conducted by the Lancashire Evening Post in May 2010 found that Preston Bus Station was Preston people's favourite building.
A further application to list the bus station was rejected in 2010 and a review of the decision was turned down in 2011. It featured on the 2012 World Monument Fund's list of sites at risk.
It featured in a song on the show All Over the Place.
The San Jose Redevelopment Agency and City of San Jose partnered to rehabilitate and expand existing classroom facilities at the San Juan Bautista site. The 2,317-square-foot addition expands the center's service capacity to 240 spaces from 192. The expanded facility has new classrooms, restrooms for adults and children, kitchenette, and exterior trellis.The San Jose Redevelopment Agency contributed $330,000 to complete the rehabilitation.
The San Juan Bautista site, established in 1971, is one of more than 52 childcare sites operating under San Jose's Smart Start program, an early childcare initiative implemented by the City of San Jose and the San Jose Redevelopment Agency, and administered by San José Public Library to expand and improve the education experience for infants through preschool age children. The center cares for newborns and children up to the age of five. For more information, please call (408) 538-0210 or visit www.sjbcdc.org.
To date, the Redevelopment Agency has invested nearly
$5 million in childcare, leveraging more than $10.5 million from the private sector to invest in childcare programs, and creating more than 458 childcare spaces. To learn more about the Redevelopment Agency, please visit www.sjredevelopment.org or call (408) 535-8549.

When I was a kid Trick-Or-Treating, I'd have much preferred to stick my hands in a big bowl of capacitors than a bowl of mini-Snickers bars.
(But please, folks: safety first. Discharge all capacitors before allowing little kids to stick moist hands in there.)

Harmony began designing a new SSG2 horizontal baler for a large, multinational beverage company in 2010. The bottling company was looking for a high-capacity baler for one of its bottling facilities to be delivered in just 3 short months. Harmony’s team of engineers were up for the challenge, but also knew that there was a lot to learn about the enduser’s design requirements in order to meet the deadline. They teamed up with Rockwell Automation to help make it happen.

Not all water disputes lead to conflict, however; and not all conflicts turn violent. Some fester perpetually beneath the surface and, as with limited access to potable water and improved sanitation in many parts of the world, are part of settled social relations. However, a change in the setting – such as an unexpected drought or flood, or a change in government policy, or the appearance of an NGO willing to drill a borehole for a community – can bring long suppressed grievances to the surface.
This workshop was organised in Nairobi from 02 to 05 November 2016. It gathers water professionals and put emphasis on Alternative DisputeResolution (ADR), in particular, principled negotiation – an approach that seeks to embed outcomes and processes that will serve sustainable, equitable and efficient long-term social needs.
