Toronto TYSSE: York University Station | ?m | 1s | TTC | Foster + Partners

[DKsan]

The one place I've been telling my volunteers to use (since they're students and so they're more inconspicous) is the seventh floor. That's where, amusingly enough, York's CITY Institute (for Urban Studies particularly on *global suburbs*) has a corner space with a gorgeous view. I'm sure if you asked, they would be kind enough to let you take a few pictures from there.

Will need to check it out the next time I'm up there.

Groovy! Finally something a step up from strictly utilitarian up there in the periphery.

 

[LUVIT!]

Very awesome. I love it.

This looks like it may overtake Downsview as the nicest station in the system. 407 Station looks pretty good too, so I may prefer that one. This will be a far busier station than 407 though.

I wish they could have gone slightly further and have a curved, glazed entrance along the lines of the soffit above - though I am willing to settle for small mercies like the seams lining up the way it did!

Can I say, brilliant observation.

Now, I will reiterate something I'm sure has been said elsewhere in this thread too often.

The trackside walls are ridiculous.

It's not merely the concrete.....though that is a bit of a snooze, and I don't see why it couldn't at least be dyed to fit in w/the state aesthetic......

It's the incorrect station name font size. Really, that' can't be right............. just sayin.
