In April 2021, Metro, in partnership with the Washington University School of Medicine and BJC HealthCare, completed a major upgrade to the station. The upgrade included a new glass canopy covering 60% of the platform, a glass elevator outside of the path of pedestrian travel, a WUSM welcome center at the Euclid level entrance and exit, the main stairwell was widened from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert, additional lighting and fencing was added, and the station aesthetic was modified to match adjacent hospital buildings.[3]

Public artwork

In 2000, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Ohne Titel by Olafur Eliasson for installation in the tunnel near this station. The 60 aluminum lamp housings with colored acrylic lenses and fluorescent lamps work together to create dabs of glowing colors that span the tunnel wall in an evenly spaced spectrum.[4]
