Architecture

Angrignon Metro station is built with windows encasing the track, which creates a very light and airy environment. Jean-Louis Beaulieu received an award from the Ordre des Architectes du Québec [ [http://www.oaq.com/fr/ordre/index.jsp Ordre des Architectes du Québec] ] for the design of the station.

Origin of the name

Jean-Baptiste Arthur Angrignon was alderman of the district of Saint-Paul and a member of the Executive Committee of the city of Montreal. He oversaw the development of what is now Parc Angrignon on what was land that belonged to the Crawford family. The area was named after him in 1927.
