Starting this year, the station’s skylight — leaking and worn after 35 years of use — will be refreshed with a new design from its original artist, Rita Letendre. According to the TTC, Letendre was commissioned to reinterpret the original artwork for a new skylight, a concept dubbed “Joy,” which will be built to last thanks to modern technology and glazing techniques. “The artwork imparts a feeling of movement throughout the station for people in the station and for those on the subways passing through the station,” says a 2014 TTC report. “The title ‘Joy’ refers to the feeling of fiesta and happiness the artist wants to impart to passengers when they enter and leave the station.”
