Template:Short description Template:Use Canadian English Template:Infobox station Atwater station is a Montreal Metro station in the borough of Ville-Marie in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is operated by the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) and serves the Green Line on the border between the city of Westmount and Montreal.<ref>Atwater Station</ref>

The station opened on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the Metro; it was the western terminus of the Green Line until the extension to Angrignon in 1978.

Architecture and art

Designed by David, Boulva et Cleve, it is a normal side platform station, built in open cut under the De Maisonneuve Boulevard. It has a large mezzanine with ticket barriers on either end. It has underground city connections to Place Alexis Nihon, Westmount Square, and Dawson College.

In August 2016, the Dawson exit was closed for refurbishment. In January 2017, the Cabot Square entrance was closed for major renovations and also to make the building unwelcoming to drug use and violent gangs on the premises.

Template:As of, work is underway to make the station universally accessible.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Phase 2 of this project has begun in 2024.
