With Brentwood Town Centre set to see tens of thousands of additional residents and thousands of new jobs over the coming years, becoming a regional destination in the process, the SkyTrain station that serves the district is now set to see a complete overhaul.

TransLink announced construction on the expansion and renovation of SkyTrain Brentwood Town Centre Station will begin in April. Construction is scheduled to reach completion in 2024.

It is the first original Millennium Line station to receive capacity upgrades since the Millennium Line first opened in 2002.

“The neighbourhood around Brentwood Town Centre Station is one of the fastest growing areas on our system with 9,000 more homes being added in nearby developments,” said Kevin Quinn, CEO of TransLink, in a statement.

“These station upgrades are part of our commitment to improving the customer experience and making our facilities more accessible and more convenient for everyone.”

The $32.6 million project includes a rebuild on the station’s entrance on the south side of Lougheed Highway, including a new secondary elevator from the street, and replaced staircases with glass enclosures to protect passengers from the elements. To accommodate this major overhaul, the south entrance will be temporarily closed for about one year.
