Parliament (French: Parlement) is a station on the Ottawa Confederation Line as part of the O-Train network. The stop is located under O'Connor and Queen in Downtown Ottawa.[2][3] It has the highest projected use of all new stops on the Confederation Line,[3] with access to Parliament Hill, Sparks Street, the downtown business district, as well as the World Exchange Plaza and Bank Street.
Layout
Parliament is a side platform underground station. A single Grand Hall Concourse is located immediately above platform level. The station's entrances are integrated with the Sun Life Financial Centre and Heritage Place; both lead to the centre of the concourse, with ticket barriers at either end leading to the ends of the platform. [4]
The Grand Hall Concourse is 15 metres underground, while the platform itself is 19 metres.[3]
The station features two artworks: Lone Pine Sunset by Douglas Coupland, an installation of brightly coloured panels based on Tom Thomson's The Jack Pine running along the ceiling of the concourse, and Trails: home and away by Jennifer Stead, a series of painted metal screens located between the two tracks at platform level.
