Architecture
File:Angrignon Metro Terminus.jpg
Angrignon station is built with windows encasing the tracks and side platforms, which creates a very light and airy environment. Jean-Louis Beaulieu received an award from the Ordre des architectes du Québec{{Cite web |url=http://www.oaq.com/fr/ordre/index.jsp |title=Ordre des architectes du Québec |access-date=2008-09-18 |archive-date=2008-07-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080703212612/http://www.oaq.com/fr/ordre/index.jsp |url-status=dead }} for the design of the station.
The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens which displays news, commercials, and the time till the next train.
Artwork
On the platforms, Les Boîtes vivantes by Shelley Miller is a ceramic photography montage of Parc Angrignon's Quartiers d’hiver. This was the winter residence of animals of the Jardin des merveilles (Garden of Wonders) - a former urban zoo in Parc La Fontaine.{{Cite web |title=Angrignon (Shelley Miller) |url=https://www.stm.info/en/about/discover_the_stm_its_history/art-network/list-artworks/angrignon-shelley-miller |access-date=2022-12-12 |website=Société de transport de Montréal |language=en}} The work was installed in 2022 as part of work to make the station accessible.{{Cite web |date=9 December 2022 |title=Angrignon becomes 24th accessible station in the métro network |url=https://www.stm.info/en/press/press-releases/2022/angrignon-becomes-24th-accessible-station-in-the-metro-network |access-date=2022-12-12 |website=Société de transport de Montréal |language=en}}
Station improvements
In October 2019, work began to make the station universally accessible with the installation of elevators at a cost of $18m.{{Cite web |title=Work underway at Angrignon station |url=https://www.stm.info/en/info/service-updates/stm-works/angrignon-0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920173941/https://www.stm.info/en/info/service-updates/stm-works/angrignon-0 |archive-date=2022-09-20 |access-date=2022-09-20 |website=Société de transport de Montréal |language=en}} As part of the project, the glass walls of the station were replaced to improve watertightness. A piece of artwork was also installed. The work was completed on December 9, 2022, making it the 24th accessible station.
Origin of the name
Jean-Baptiste Arthur Angrignon was alderman of the district of Saint-Paul and a member of the Executive Committee of the city of Montreal. He oversaw the development of what is now Parc Angrignon on what was land that belonged to the Crawford family. The area was named after him in 1927.
