ARCHITECTS Lemoyne, Bland, Edwards, & Shine

OPENING DATE 14 October 1966

The walls of this thoroughly ordinary station's platforms are done in small, grey ceramic disks; the floors are done in brown tiles. An unusual feature is the lowered seating, with the naming strips being significantly lowered into the seat bays.

The most interesting part of the station is its transept, at the northern end of the station. Its vaulted ceiling is composed of attractive diamond-shaped caissons, illuminated with fluorescent tubes. The bridge itself has an unusual curved shape with slanted ramparts.

The white tiled floor of the bridge and mezzanine is interrupted by large circles filled with coloured stripes. Similar circles can also be found at platform level.

Another splash of colour is contributed by the entranceway, integrated into the ground floor of an apartment building. Its walls and ceiling are painted in bright primary colours.
