WSP also plans to carry out a feasibility design and business case appraisal relating to the station's remodelling and regeneration.
The study is set to be backed by the Halifax Station Gateway Steering Group, the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and Network Rail, and aims to identify upgrades to road and pedestrian routes from the station through to the town centre.
WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff project director Adrian Kemp said: “We are able to draw on UK-wide expertise having worked on major station master plans in York, London Bridge, Manchester, Newcastle and Stockport, which we also delivered in partnership with BDP.
“This, combined with our teams’ wealth of local knowledge, puts us in a great position to create an exceptional station for the town and a distinctive gateway to Halifax and Calderdale.”
