This is a large station, at a  campus, and as you will discover, has washrooms, feeding facilities, ticket services, etc.  Indoors, the floors were finished with large porcelain tiles. I can’t get a straight answer as to what will be the floor finish for the Confederation Line stations, other than “what RTG decides…”

 

comfortable seating too:

 

A welcoming ticket and service wicket:

 

 

The opening hours are  generous (seven days a week) many transit users are in the service industries which requires them to work shifts and any day of the week. I like that someone took  care to be open and available when users want to travel rather than just their stuffed-shirt white-collar hours.

This stairwell wall is sturdy:

 

But I was surprised that this one was drywall panels, which are inexpensive and not sturdy:

Elevators, of course:

And food for the weary during shop hours:

 

and after hours:

 

And something you won’t find in any Ottawa transitway stations, and won’t find in any of our new OTrain Confederation or Trillium lines — public washrooms ! What is the French for “gotta go” ?

 

really nice and clean washrooms:

 

and yes, that’s a green roof over parts of the station:

 

next: not all is perfect …

 

ed note: I mislabelled this station in my original story posting, and revised it to de la Cite.  I am note sure if it is a college or sports complex at the location. Another pax there told me it was a cegep, but my french is atrociously bad.
