Outremont station (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Montreal Metro station in the Outremont borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Blue Line. It opened in January 1988.
Overview
The Outremont station was designed by the architectural firm Dupuis, Chapuis, & Dubuc, with Pierre Chapuis as one of the lead architects.[2][3] It is a normal side platform station with a mined trainroom and open-cut volume at one end, containing the ticket hall and topped by the one large entrance and a glazed skylight. Classic materials and a mural of glazed ceramics by Gilbert Poissant evoke the architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood, as does a Borough of Outremont lamp post at the foot of the stairs to one platform.
Station upgrade
In 2021, work began to make the station universally accessible, provide a new ventilation shaft, as well as other refurbishments including flooring, waterproofing and new lighting.[4]
Due to the single entrance building at the station, upgrade works could not safely take place while the station was open. The station was therefore temporarily closed between January and August 2022, with a shuttle bus provided to take passengers to Acadie station.[5] Works (such as the installation of elevators) has been done since December 18, 2024.[5] As part of the upgrade works, The Saint-Michel and Snowdon elevators and an artwork has been commissioned for the station.[6]
Origin of name
The station takes its name from the borough (formerly city) of Outremont, in which it is located. Originally named Côte-Sainte-Catherine, the town took its name in 1875 from a mansion, still extant, built in 1833 by Louis-Tancrède Bouthillier and named "Outre-Mont" ("beyond the mountain" from the main settlement of Montreal).
