Part of Metrolinx’s transformation of the GO rail network’s Regional Express Rail program, the new Oshawa Station replaces an existing facility, which also serves VIA Rail. The contemporary design features cladding in a combination of brick, metal panels, and glass, with canopies at entrances and waiting areas to offer commuters a more comfortable travel experience. Skylights and an atrium provide natural light in the station’s interior waiting areas, which include both public and operational zones for both GO and VIA. The project was constructed while the existing station remained fully operational.
