is an elevated Gold Line Station and has one of the most distinctive station designs in LA with : The Wheels of Change by Chusien Chang. It is the first stop out of Union Station on the northern branch up to Pasadena which opened on July 26, 2003. The station's island platform canopies are inspired by pagoda architecture. To leave the island platform in the middle of it are a set of escalators and staircase down to a mezzanine area where the TVMs are. A staircase, another set of escalators and an elevator that goes straight from the platform to street level in a plaza at the NW corner of College and Spring Streets. There is a secondary entrance at the extreme southern end of the platform with another elevator and staircase that winds its way around the elevator shaft to the SW corner. This entrance is flawed and lacks TVMs or Tap Targets requiring passengers to go down to the main mezzanine for fare payment.
