Angrignon is a metro station in Montreal, Québec, Canada. It is the current terminus for the western-bound Green Line, and includes a large terminal for buses to southwest Montreal, the West Island, and the South Shore. Angrignon Metro station is built with windows encasing the track, which creates a very light and airy environment. Jean-Louis Beaulieu received an award from the Ordre des Architectes du Québec for the design of the station.
[edit] Origin of the name
Jean-Baptiste Arthur Angrignon was alderman of the district of Saint-Paul and a member of the Executive Committee of the city of Montreal. He oversaw the development of what is now Parc Angrignon on what was land that belonged to the Crawford family. The area was named after him in 1927.
