A police station, jointly administered by Loyola University Chicago, the Chicago Transit Authority, and the Chicago Police Department was opened outside the Granville station on March 13, 2006.[2]

The project lasted approximately one month. Other north side stations were renovated following Granville's completion.[4] The Granville station reopened at 10 p.m. on July 13, 2012.
