The 1.7-hectare site currently serves as a bus terminal with routes from Manila. The terminal was proposed to be integrated with the city transport system. Geographically located as the central terminal of Legazpi, the site’s road network accommodates a wide range of transport systems that serve the dense commercial and institutional district. The main bus terminal space is approximately 1,350 square meters, composed of spaces for security check, ticketing booths, waiting area, food kiosks and dining shops, and souvenir shops. Operations of the terminal include various modes of transportation such as buses, jeepneys, AUV’s, taxis, and tricycles - all of which operate 24 hours.

The Bicol region is known for its flourishing fish industry and for having the world’s largest fish, the Butanding (whale shark). The use of fishnet and the flowing pattern as the basis for the facade of the proposed Grand Central Terminal will help depict the rich aquaculture of the region. Cladding details reinforce the visual perception of motion. Converging diagonals in the canopy emphasizes the direction to the entrance of the building. Foot traffic from one transport system to another will be minimized through an integrated layout. A patterned walkway serves as wayfinding for both the passengers and the pedestrians, while it also serves as a connection for the bus terminal and city transport terminal on the site.
