Built with a multi-level atrium, the Admiralty Station extension provides vertical circulation for passengers with 34 escalators at a depth of 50 metres. The artwork Mapping Our Way displayed in the spacious atrium signifies the convergence of the four railway lines housed in this mega station.
The three-storey underground Exhibition Centre Station, located in the heart of bustling Wan Chai North, provides a more convenient transport connection across Victoria Harbour to different parts of the city. Inspired by its proximity to the harbour, the signature artwork Water Memory is composed of around 1,200 photographs capturing the nearby seascape at different moments. —Construction+ Online
