Verdun (Montreal Metro)Verdun is a station on the Montreal Metro on the Green Line, located in the borough of Verdun. It was inaugurated on September 3, 1978, as part of the extension of the Green Line westward to Angrignon. Designed by Jean-Maurice Dub, it is a normal side-platform station, built in a deep open cut necessitated by the surrounding Utica shale formation. The ticket hall is located at transept level, and both the mezzanine and platforms are surmounted by high volumes. Accesses are located on either side of rue de Verdun. The station's artwork is a design with bas-reliefs in the upper concrete walls and painted motifs on the lower parts of the walls, running throughout the station. It was designed by Antoine D. Lamarche. Origin of the name This station is named for rue de Verdun and for the borough (formerly the city) of Verdun, in front of whose borough office the station is located. The land that would later constitute the borough was granted as a concession to Zacharie Dupuis in 1671; he named it Fief-de-Verdun for his birthplace at Saverdun in the south of France.
