Eglinton GO Station

Scarborough, Ontario

The comprehensive redevelopment of this existing commuter rail station introduces a new station building, upgraded passenger platforms, and integrated tunnels and vertical circulation. The scope further includes enhanced pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, a dedicated mechanical, electrical, and IT services building, and a new elevated pedestrian bridge that spans Eglinton Avenue to connect the station with overflow parking.

The architectural concept leverages the irregular, wedge-shaped topography of the site to negotiate a multi-level section, establishing a street-level concourse that transitions seamlessly into an elevated, platform-level interior waiting area. Formally, the station design is informed by the phenomenology of transit, drawing inspiration from linear movement, forced perspective, and vanishing sightlines to articulate its circulation and envelope.
