Champ-de-Mars station (Montreal Metro)

Champ-de-Mars station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Ville-Marie in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Orange Line. It is located in Old Montreal by the Champ de Mars park. It opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original Metro network.

Overview

Designed by Adalbert Niklewicz, it is a normal side platform station, built in open cut due to the presence of weak Utica shale in the surrounding rock. Its entrance is located near a series of tunnels that cross the Autoroute Ville-Marie, giving access to Old Montreal.

Station improvements

In December 2014, the station became fully accessible with the installation of three elevators. The $12m project also involved the renovation of the main entrance building (including installation of a new green roof) and underground city access to Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM).
