Design, artwork approved for Steeles West Station

March 2011

Commissioners approved the design, art and finishes for Steeles West Station on the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension on Feb. 2. It will include a 1,850 commuter parking lot, 12-bay TTC bus terminal, five-bay YRT bus terminal and a passenger pick-up-and-drop-off area.

A public selection process chose realities:united, a studio led by brothers, Jan and Tim Edler as the public artists. They have worked in close collaboration with the architectural design team to develop a concept called LightSpell, which is described as a “super-sculpture” of light and art.
