Description

The station has two entrances. The main, accessible entrance is at the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road. The secondary entrance is just east of Mount Pleasant Road on the north side. The station has storage for 30 bicycles.[2]
The station was designed by NORR, following an architectural concept designed by architects gh3* from Toronto and Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker from Montreal.[3][4][5] As with other stations on Line 5, architectural features include natural light from large windows and skylights, steel structures painted white, and orange accents (the colour of the line).[5] The main entrance of the station at 256–258 Eglinton Avenue East was the location of a former branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada (later CIBC), in a building originally designed by architect Herbert Horner in 1928. Metrolinx had the building's façade disassembled brick-by-brick, catalogued, labelled and stored for reassembly upon completion of the station's construction. Only the building's façade was preserved.[6][7]
