The station was not opened in 2002 along with the rest of the original Millennium Line stations as it was not part of the original plan for the line; however, the city of Burnaby made a push for the station. [2] The architecture firms Francl Architect and Stantec Architecture were responsible for designing the station. [3] [4]
