Shawmut Station Renovation

Shawmut Station on the MBTA's Red Line is comprised of a 1929 neo-classical one story brick headhouse with subsurface platforms off of the commercial street of Dorchester Avenue, located on a neighborhood street near Clementine Park in Dorchester. The station is adjacent to the commercial street of Dorchester Avenue in Dorchester, situated on a smaller neighborhood street near Clementine Park.

The major work on the station included restoring the headhouse, creating new barrier free access with two new elevators to easily reach the platforms. The existing tunnel cap has provided ample landscaped improvements along the pedestrian paths of travel which connect Melville and Mather Streets. The community has jointly worked through new landscaped areas and has completed "Shawmut Gardens": a new Victorian-style park.

This station is designed by Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. Cambridge, MA.
