It is situated near to Labrador Park, a historical site which held former fortifications and naval guns built by the British forces in Singapore before World War II. The station has 1 exit and entry point. An overhead pedestrian bridge links various offices across Alexandra and Telok Blangah roads to the station. The station is located along the Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk's Berlayer Creek sector.

[edit] Art in Transit

The artwork featured in this station under the Art in Transit programme is Without Which/Would Have Been/Impossible by Heman Chong. The art piece, located on the side of the lift shaft in the station, consists of the title of the piece and several coloured circles of different sizes arranged in a regular fashion. According to the artist, the motif came from a "microscopic view of a single rock" found at Labrador Park, highlighting the park's distinctive identity as the last surviving rocky sea cliff in Singapore.[1]

[edit] 2011 train disruption

At 8.36am on Oct 17 2011, a Circle Line train heading from this station to Pasir Panjang experienced a train fault and had to be taken out of service. To maintain train service between Kent Ridge and HarbourFront, SMRT operated two shuttle train services: Between Kent Ridge and Pasir Panjang on one track; and between Pasir Panjang and HarbourFront on both tracks, for passengers to continue their journey to HarbourFront. SMRT also activated free bus bridging service between Kent Ridge and HarbourFront stations from 9.45am to around 11.38am to supplement the train shuttle services in anticipation of the number of passengers at Kent Ridge station.

Normal train service resumed at 11.12 am. The train fault is still under investigation. This disruption came 9 days after the entire Circle Line went into operation and happened on the same day as a separate breakdown at Ang Mo Kio. [2]
