Design
Like Burrard and King Edward Stations, Granville Station has a distinctive platform design. The westbound track (to Waterfront Station) is stacked above the eastbound track (to King George and VCC–Clark stations), with the westbound platform being one level above the eastbound platform.
Granville Station is unique in being one of only a few stations having no surface entrance building of its own, independent of any adjacent buildings (Main Street – Science World Station is another for example). The station has three entrances: Granville Mall through the Hudson’s Bay Company department store, Seymour Street with direct access to the ticketing platform, and Dunsmuir Street through The Hudson condominium development.
