Service

  • Brentwood Town Centre is a major connection point to local bus routes for north Burnaby, as well as regional routes connecting Metrotown, North Vancouver, and New Westminster. It is also a major connection point on Millennium Line serving BCIT.
  • The station is directly adjacent to Brentwood Town Centre, a mid-size shopping mall, with stores like Sears Canada and London Drugs.
  • Brentwood Town Centre is a possible terminus for the proposed 91 B-Line.

    • Design

    Brentwood Town Centre station is located directly above Lougheed Highway. It is the only station in the system that is built on median, with the entire station footprint located directly above a roadway. The station is also designed to serve as a pedestrian overpass across Lougheed Highway, which requires the station platforms to be high above the roadway and a mezzanine/concourse to be built below the platform level. The station is one of the only three on Millennium Line, beside Lougheed Town Centre station and Gilmore station, that features a concourse level.

    The station is built using a combination of wood and steel, customly designed to provide a curved appearance. The extensive use of glass for the outer wall make the station glow at night. On May 11, 2002, Perkins+Will Canada, designers of the station, were honoured for their work with a Governor General's Medal in Architecture.

    Station entrances and connections

    North Entrance contains a set of stairs and an elevator connecting the station concourse with the sidewalk on the north side of Lougheed Highway. A bus stop located directly in front of the entrance provides a drop-off for faster SkyTrain connection without the need of going to the bus loop. The stop serves the routes:

    North Entrance Mall/Bus Loop Access connects the Brentwood Town Centre mall, bus loop, and the station with a long ramp and walkway. The walkway enters the station at the north end of the concourse level, and it is completely covered and weather protected. See Brentwood Town Centre station#Transit exchange for a list of connections.

    South Entrance is a stair-only access connecting the station concourse with the sidewalk on the south side of Lougheed Highway. This entrance provides alternative and potentially faster bus connections to various bus routes in the area.
