[edit] Location
The station is located in Hollywood at the intersection between two major roads, Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue.[1] Hollywood/Highland is beneath the shopping center of the same name and the Kodak Theater. Due to terrorism concerns, the station is closed on the day of the Academy Awards.
[edit] Station layout
Hollywood/Highland is a two-level station; the top level is a mezzanine with ticket machines while the lower is the platform level. The station uses a simple island platform setup with two tracks. Architecturally, Hollywood/Highland station shares similarities with recent Metro subway stations and the design of the entrance to the station may have been inspired by New York City's Times Square-42nd Street station.
