It is located on Spadina Road at Dupont Street in The Annex neighbourhood of the city. Wi-Fi service is available at this station.[1] HistoryThe station opened in 1978, as part of the "Spadina" extension of the subway line from St. George to Wilson Station. The 1995 Russell Hill subway accident happened on August 11, 1995, when a train southbound from St. Clair West station rear-ended another stationary train just north of Dupont station. Three people were killed and 30 were taken to hospital with injuries, and this section of the subway line was shut down for five days. Subsequent investigations found that a combination of human error and a design flaw in a mechanical safety device caused the accident.[2] On June 1, 2006, at 9:30 a.m., as a train entered the station, a metal cover in the bottom of the last subway car came loose and wedged in the third rail. This filled the train with smoke, forcing the evacuation of the station and disrupting service for about an hour.[3] The possibility that this incident may have resulted from sabotage by striking TTC personnel was discarded by the Toronto Police.[4] Three elevators and improved fare gates are to be constructed, to make the station accessible.[5] An open house was held on September 24, 2015 to outline the work involved.[6] Architecture and artDupont Station was designed by Dunlop-Farrow Architects.[7] The two entrances to the station, located at the northwest and southeast corners of Dupont Street and Spadina Road, take the form of glass "bubbles" with orange-painted metal frames covering the stairways and escalators. A motif of rounded surfaces and finishes is used, with the interior walls of the station being clad in small circular orange tiles and all corners curved. On the platforms unique built-in concrete benches are also rounded and covered with the same tiles as the walls and the use of large circular lighting fixtures throughout the station reinforces the theme. The overall effect of the interior's rounded surfaces and colour scheme is of an earthly cavern.[8] The main artwork in the station consists of murals designed by James Sutherland, entitled Spadina Summer Under All Seasons.[9] Using thousands of pieces of glass, colourful mosaics of flowers were created directly within the station's tiling. Two large mosaics of a giant flower in cross-section face each other across the tracks, reaching upward to a mezzanine level lined with smaller flower mosaics. Sculptor Ron Baird designed massive circular interlocking doors which provide access to the electrical substation, which is nestled behind the northwest entrance.[10] {{multiple image| align = left | direction = horizontal | image1 = Dupont TTC tile bench.jpg | width1 = {{#expr: (160 * 640 / 427) round 0}} | caption1 = Platform lighting, tiled wall and built-in bench | image2 = Dupont TTC tile flower detail.jpg | width2 = {{#expr: (160 * 3888 / 2592) round 0}} | caption2 = Flower mosaic by James Sutherland{{clear left}} Nearby landmarksThe station is located on the north side of The Annex neighbourhood.
