Angrignon is a metro station in Montreal, Québec. 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.
