'''Assomption station''' is a [[Montreal Metro]] station situated in the [[Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve]] borough of [[Montreal]], Quebec. Managed by the [[Société de transport de Montréal]] (STM), it facilitates commuters along the [[Line 1 Green (Montreal Metro)|Green Line]] and resides within the [[Hochelaga-Maisonneuve]] district.<ref>[http://www.stm.info/English/metro/a-m22.htm Assomption Metro Station]</ref> The station opened some time after 6 June 1976<!-- This one station was not ready yet! -->, as part of the extension of the Green Line to [[Honoré-Beaugrand (Montreal Metro)|Honoré-Beaugrand]].

== 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 [[Tunnel#Cut-and-cover|open cut]] that leads to a single entrance. Notably, the station's entrance building and the hallways leading to the [[Stairway|stairwell]] have [[mural]]s 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>{{Cite web |title=Rapport d'accessibilité universelle 2022 |url=https://www.stm.info/fr/a-propos/informations-entreprise-et-financieres/rapport-annuel-2022/rapport-daccessibilite |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=Société de transport de Montréal |language=fr |quote=Les études préliminaires se sont également poursuivies pour les stations Longueuil, Parc, Sauvé, Radisson et Assomption.}}</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|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]]''.
