History

Файл:Lrt7770.JPG
Health Sciences station in 2006. At the time the LRT had only one line (which is now Capital Line), running between Health Sciences and Clareview.

Health Sciences station opened on January 3, 2006,[1] and was the second LRT station built on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River. It was also the first above ground station to be built since Clareview station which opened in 1981 and the first station built as part of the Capital Line's South expansion which added five new stations and 7.8 km of track to the system by 2010.

Station layout

The station has a 124-metre long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is exactly nine metres wide.[2][3]

An enclosed pedway system that connects the station with the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, Kaye Edmonton Clinic and University of Alberta Hospital opened in June 2013.[4][5]

The station's platform features text etched into the glass walls and footprint impressions in the concrete as part of the public art piece "I Witness" by Holly Newman.[6]

The station has one termination track that allows Metro Line trains to terminate but platform is off-limits to the public. It allows one 3 car Metro Line train to terminate/reverse.

Safety and security

  • In April 2022, an elderly woman was assaulted and pushed onto the tracks.[7]
