History

Health Sciences station in 2006. At the time the LRT had only one line (which is now Capital Line), running between Health Sciences and Clareview.

Health Sciences station opened on January 3, 2006, and was the second LRT station built on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River. It was also the first above ground station to be built since Clareview station which opened in 1981 and the first station built as part of the Capital Line's South expansion which added five new stations and 7.8 km of track to the system by 2010.

Station layout

The station has a 124-metre long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is exactly nine metres wide. At the time of opening, the platform was 101-metre long but was extended 23 metres in 2010 to accommodate five-car trains. A tail track located south of the station allows three-car Metro Line trains to terminate and reverse directions but the platform is off-limits to the public.

An enclosed pedway system that connects the station with the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, Kaye Edmonton Clinic and University of Alberta Hospital began construction in January 2012 and opened in June 2013.

The station's platform features text etched into the glass walls and footprint impressions in the concrete as part of the public art piece "I Witness" by Holly Newman.

Safety and security

• In April 2022, an elderly woman was assaulted and pushed onto the tracks.
