Brentwood Station is part of the new Vancouver Millennium Line, extension to the above grade transit system for the Greater Vancouver Area. The stations were part of a high design initiative by the Rapid Transit Authority.

The Brentwood Station is located adjacent to the Lougheed Highway and Brentwood Town Centre. It has been the recipient of numerous design awards. The structure integrates steel and glue laminated timber with specially designed joints between the materials. Steel is located at the pedestrian level due to its durability. The station is highly glazed with open air light down the centre of the platform.

The Brentwood Station received an Honorable Mention in the CISC BC Region 2002 Design Awards.

More information on the design and construction of the Millennium Line stations is available through the Steel Structures Education Foundation CD-ROM, Volume Two. See www.ssef-ffca.ca for more details.
