Du Collège station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Saint-Laurent in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. It opened on January 9, 1984, and replaced Plamondon station as the western terminus of the line until Côte-Vertu station opened in 1986.
Overview
The station is a normal side platform station with an entrance at either end. The southern entrance is located in a bus loop.
The station was designed by Gilles S. Bonnetto and Jacques Garand, and contains several artworks. The northern entrance contains four stained-glass windows, one by Lyse Charland Favretti on the theme of education and three by Pierre Osterrath on the borough of Saint-Laurent, its agricultural past, and its future. The southern entrance contains another stained-glass window by Favretti representing the borough's aeronautics industry, as well as an abstract relief in brick by Aurelio Sandonato. The station's best-known architectural feature, however, is an Ionic column in the northern mezzanine.
In May 2018, elevators were inaugurated at the station, making it fully accessible.[4]
As of Saturday, May 29, 2021, the Côte-Vertu métro station is closed for a period of 12 weeks , Du Collège station is the temporary terminus of the western branch of Orange line until August 22nd 2021
Origin of the name
This station is named for the rue du Collège, whose name commemorates the nearby Cégep de Saint-Laurent, inaugurated as a college in 1847 and turned into a Cégep in 1968.
