From the mezzanine level, travelers can look through the open spaces to the concrete walls and mechanical ducts that line the station box. False-facades are interpreted in the curved ceiling panels. Artist-created images are projected onto adjacent entry walks from a suspended theatrical light truss. Organic forms sculpt each of the platform columns, directing light upward into the station cavity.
Travelers enter and exit the station from the street level under a bold curving metal canopy.
The centerpiece will be a new 3,300-seat theater which will serve as home to the Academy Awards ceremonies, Broadway musicals and holiday spectaculars. Directly surrounding the station are Mann's Chinese Theatre with its famous footprints of the stars, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Egyptian Theater and American Cinematique, the El Capitan Theater, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and many other attractions.
