GRANVILLE STATION
EXPO LINE
VANCOUVER, CANADA

The design of this underground ALRT station began with an assessment of three potential sties, all involving integration with existing commercial developments. The outcome was the design and implementation of the station below Seymour and Dunsmuir Streets, with the main entrance integrated through The Bay department store, a class-A heritage building.

This work included fitting fire exit stairs through an existing building, planning for furture station entrances, and integrating requirements for the station and The Bay so that both benefited.
