Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Railroad Station

Wilmington, Delaware, USA

To honor President Joe Biden, the Wilmington Amtrak train station was renamed the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Railroad Station. The renaming occurred on the heels of a two-year, $37.7 million renovation project. Kawneer developed the custom extrusions and fabrication techniques needed to install the new aluminum windows in a way that replicated the station’s old wooden windows. The retrofit renovation integrated modern technology while retaining the building’s historical architecture and character.
