Langelier is a good example of 1970s all-concrete construction. It is essentially one huge vault, presenting a very dramatic, almost sci-fi aspect at mezzanine level where it is lit with rows of fluorescent lights.
The mezzanine looks down onto the platform over a parapet sloped down at an acute angle. The links between platform and mezzanine are made by stairs arranged in exciting angular formations, continuing the space-age design down to platform level. |
The rest of the station's walls are made up of orderly rows of prefabricated, bracket-shaped concrete units with integrated seats. In addition, ventilation shafts are hidden by attractive, sculptured metal screens by Charles Daudelin. |

There are three entrances on three corners of an intersection, each with similar geometrical concrete design.
