Description
On 27 November 2009 the ground-breaking ceremony was held for the Spadina Extension, and major tunnelling operations began in June 2011. The original project schedule expected the completion by 2015 but that is now delayed to autumn 2016.
Grimshaw Architects have been retained to design the station, which will have a domed ovoid entrance building just north of the Viva platforms on Highway 7. The building will have four entrances in an X pattern; these will be the only entrances at the station's opening, but knockout panels are planned for future underground access to the station from evolving development (including a future YRT bus terminal).

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
