The station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro; it was the western terminus of the Green Line until the extension to Angrignon in 1978.
Architecture and art
Designed by David, Boulva et Cleve, it is a normal side platform station, built in open cut under the De Maisonneuve Boulevard. It has a large mezzanine with ticket barriers on either end. It has underground city connections to Place Alexis Nihon, Westmount Square, and Dawson College.
As of 2020[update], work is underway to make the station universally accessible.[5] Phase 2 of this project is due to begin in 2023.[6]
The station is equipped with MétroVision information screens which display news, commercials, and the time until the next train.
Origin of the name
This station is named for Atwater Avenue, named for Edwin Atwater (1808–1874), a municipal alderman of the district of Saint-Antoine. The street was named for him in 1871.
