Overview
Designed by Duplessis and Labelle, Assomption station features a conventional side platform layout constructed primarily from concrete and partially situated within a tunnel. Access to the station is facilitated through a deep open cut that leads to a single entrance. Notably, the station's entrance building and the hallways leading to the stairwell have murals painted by Guy Montpetit.
In 2022, the STM's Universal Accessibility Report noted that preliminary design work to make the station accessible was underway.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Origin of the name
This station, formerly known as L'Assomption, (a name that can still be observed on the station's nameplates), derives its name from Assomption boulevard. The boulevard was named as such in 1951, commemorating Pope Pius XII's affirmation of the dogma of the Assumption of Mary in his 1950 apostolic constitution, Munificentissimus Deus.
