Architecture and art

Stevens Group Architects designed the station. Most unique to the station are the high-ceiling entrance pavilions with long, angled roofs overhanging the structure, evoking mid-century expressionist architecture. They have extensive glazing. The public art installed at Bayview Station includes a variety of trompe l'oeil illustrations on the walls and floors by Toronto artist Panya Clark Espinal.
