## Design

The deep column, three-aisled station was designed by architects of the Sverdlovsk Institute – it was a civil project by Kusenko, Zaslavsky and L. Maslennikov, dedicated to the revolutionary events of 1905. The supports of the vaults are made in the form of granite portals separating the middle hall from the side landing sections of the platform. The color scheme of the interior is contrasting red Karelian granite lined portals and white marble track walls. The lighting fixtures of the central hall are chandeliers and sconces. Recently (as of February 2011), incandescent light bulbs have been replaced with energy-saving lightbulbs in lighting fixtures, as in the Uralskaya station. On the track walls, there are artistic thematic inserts made in the Florentine mosaic technique by Ural stone carving craftsman.

## Future

In the future, the station "Ploshchad 1905 Goda" (of the first Yekaterinburg metro line) will become a transfer hub to the station "Ploshchad 1905 Goda" of the 2nd planned metro line. In the northern part of the station, it is planned to open a second exit, which will simultaneously become an exit to the city (at the intersection of 8th Marta Street and Lenin Avenue) and a transfer to Line 2.

## Ground Public transportation

The station has exits to multiple stops (including the final ones) of all types of ground transportation: buses, trolleybuses, trams and taxi routes.
