The Brentwood Station is
located adjacent to the Lougheed Highway and Brentwood Town Centre. It
has been the recipient of numerous design awards. The structure integrates
steel and glue laminated timber with specially designed joints between
the materials. Steel is located at the pedestrian level due to its durability.
The station is highly glazed with open air light down the centre of the
platform. |
