Exterior view of the kiosk

This intermodal station, linking the metro with the Montreal-Dorion/Rigaud, Montreal-Blainville, and Montreal-Delson/Candiac commuter trains, takes its kiosk's rounded blue and steel form from the commuter trains it serves. The kiosk is surrounded by a bus loop.

Inside the kiosk, walkways on either side surround the sunken mezzanine just below street level. The mezzanine in turn opens onto the platform, which provides a direct visual link between the tracks and the outside. From the mezzanine, a staircase leads to the tunnel connecting the metro and commuter train stations.

The sleek modern interior of the station is done with slanting cement walls, rounded joints and seats, and futuristic lighting strips.

View of the platforms

Natural light is admitted and tinted brilliant colours by a stained-glass window by Marcelle Ferron, and reflected at random angles throughout the volume by a large spiral-shaped linear sculpture of stainless-steel tubes.

A tunnel from the mezzanine leads to the open-air commuter train platforms behind the station. They feature the attractive, red-brown curved light standards and sign frames common to most stations on the Dorion/Rigaud line.
