Designed by David, Boulva et Cleve, it is a normal side platform station, built in open cut under the De Maisonneuve Boulevard. It has a large mezzanine with ticket barriers on either end. It has underground city connections to Place Alexis Nihon, Westmount Square, and Dawson College. In August 2016, the Dawson exit was closed for refurbishment. In January 2017, the Cabot Square entrance was closed for major renovations and also to make the building unwelcoming to drug use and violent gangs on the premises. , work is underway to make the station universally accessible. Phase 2 of this project has begun in 2024. On April 14, 2025, work is officially complete and Atwater became the 30th accessible station in the network. The station is equipped with MétroVision information screens which display news, commercials, and the time until the next train. ==Origin of the name==
