Happy 1st Birthday Glenroy Station!
With the Glenroy Road boom gates gone and new Glenroy Station opening to passengers in May 2022, it’s been one year of reduced congestion and better local connections for the community in Glenroy.
As well as turning heads for the past year, Glenroy Station is also winning awards, picking up 4 prizes at the 2023 GOV Design Awards.
The GOV Design awards are announced annually to celebrate the courage of both commissioners and creators of design projects within the government, community, and public sectors. GOV awards accept international nominations from local, state and federal government funded projects in 10 major categories and over 99 subcategories.
The station has won 4 silver awards in Architecture – Community & Civic, Architecture – Transport, Architecture – Public Realm and Urban Design.
The awards have celebrated the station for creativity and innovation, design processes, creating functional spaces and consideration given for material selection, technology, light and shadow.
Passengers have been loving the new Glenroy station, and the project which also marked the 60th level crossing to be removed from Melbourne since 2015. The new premium Glenroy Station features 2 lifts, as well as stairs access to each lowered platform, a comfortable waiting area with city views, undercover seating and improved lighting.
