Description

Artwork Ossington Particles

The main station entrance is on the west side of Ossington Avenue, just north of Bloor. In December 2016, elevators were installed at this station, thus making Ossington station a fully accessible station. There is a second automatic entrance, with entry only by Presto card, on Delaware Avenue, beside a TTC electrical substation.[3]

As part of the 2016 renovation, the station acquired the artwork Ossington Particles by Scott Eunson.[4] The artwork uses 800 stick-on coloured acrylic tiles arranged in clusters near stairways on the platform and mezzanine levels.[5] Plaques in the station provide an artist's message: "The Particles inhabit the tile grid of Ossington Station to tell a story of the natural and human history of this site, mapping the local Garrison Creek watershed and recalling the ancient landscape and geology of this neighborhood."[6]
