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:
“Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
