REM station construction began this fall. Here is a preview of the station in the Town of Mount-Royal. Drawings will be finalized next year.

Architecture

Developed by local firms (Lemay, Provencher Roy, Bisson Fortin and Perkins+Will), REM’s architectural signature was designed so that it would integrate visually with the neighbourhoods. Buildings will feature wood and the transparency of glass, giving them a warm and welcoming appearance and bringing natural light into the stations, while respecting the surrounding residents’ privacy.

The architects were primarily inspired by the city’s rich heritage. By using terracotta slats, the station will be inspired by the color of the brick of the old station, which was built in 1917 (now home to the pizzeria), in order to maintain consistency with this historical site.
