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:
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
