Dupont Station is a rapid transit station operated by the Toronto Transit Commission in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 278 Dupont Street at the intersection of Dupont Street and Spadina Road.
The architect that designed the station was Dunlop-Farrow Architects Incorporated.[1] The station's architecture is comprised of three levels: street entrance level, an underground concourse level, and platform level. The two main entrances to the station are located at the northwest and southeast corners of the intersection of Dupont Street and Spadina Road. Both station entrances take the form of an elongated glass-panel dome with an orange-coloured frame. It has stairs and escalators which lead to the concourse level and the collector's booth.
The station has no bus terminal so the connection to 26 Dupont can be made at the stops on Dupont Street and the connection to 127 Davenport can be made at the stops on Spadina Road. Connections to both routes can be made just outside the station entrances.
Concourse level is situated on top of the southern half of the subway platforms with a V-shaped glass wall that overlooks the northern end of the station. There are escalators and stairs that lead to both platforms at the ends of the glass wall. A large portion of the station's walls are made of circular orange mosaic tiles with mosaic murals by James Sutherland titled "Spadina Summer Under All Seasons".[2] A distinctive design feature of this station includes the idea of round objects such as the circle. This is highlighted by the incorporation of circular mosaic tiles, the rounded station entrance domes, and the curved platform benches in the subway station's design.
