Fulton Street (formerly Broadway – Nassau Street) on the IND Eighth Avenue Line has two tracks and one island platform. The station is located approximately sixty feet below ground level. Similar to other stations near it, Fulton Street utilizes a tube station design because of its depth. The tile on this station is colored purple, with wall tiles reading "FULTON". An alternating pattern of "BWAY" and "NASSAU" was the original tiling until recently. The station adopted the "Fulton Street" name in December 2010 to become unified with the other platforms in the station complex. Overhead and column signage carry the new name.

There are two sets of artwork here. One is the Marine Grill Murals, from Hotel McAlpin, located at the William Street entrance (originally on the mezzanine) and the other is Nancy Holt's Astral Grating, also on the mezzanine.

Famous quotes containing the words eighth, avenue, line and/or platform:

    “If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.”
    —Bible: New Testament, Philippians 3:4-6.

    “Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.”
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)

    “The parent must not give in to his desire to try to create the child he would like to have, but rather help the child to develop—in his own good time—to the fullest, into what he wishes to be and can be, in line with his natural endowment and as the consequence of his unique life in history.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
