New CTA Green Line Station at Morgan Street




CTA Morgan Street Station
ARCHITECT: Ross Barney Architects
http://www.r-barc.com/places/?name=CTA+Morgan+Street+Station
CLIENT Chicago Department of Transportation
PROGRAM New Transit Station; Green Line
COST $30.5 million
STATUS Complete 2012

The $38 million station, which Mayor Rahm Emanuel formally opened Thursday, serves the Pink and Green lines and can be found at Lake and Morgan streets, about half a mile west of the Ogilvie Transportation Center. But you're bound to see it before you get there.

The station's spectral stair towers and glass-sheathed transfer bridge rise airily above the hard-edged warehouses and cold meat lockers of the West Loop, also home to trendy restaurants and galleries. The area, it's been said, is in transition from slaughterhouses to art houses.
