Keele Station – Easier Access, Phase 3
Toronto, ON
Client: TTC
Delivery Model: Design-Bid-Build
Prime Consultant: AECOM
Value: $10.1 million
Completion: June 2021
This project is of TTC’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, providing system-wide accessibility improvements to all transit stations. Architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical modifications were made to accommodate the enhancements.
The scope of this contract provides a barrier-free path from the main entrance to all levels of the station; this required the installation of two elevators to access the eastbound and westbound platforms. Automatic sliding entry doors were included in the accessibility upgrades. Electrical and mechanical upgrades to lighting, plumbing, and HVAC systems were made. New ceilings, signage, and CCTV security cameras were installed along the accessible pathway.
A glazing system encloses the elevators, and other treatments were used for the building façade. The exterior work included upgraded pedestrian platforms and pavement with new lighting and signage for improved wayfinding.
