History
In November 2021, IHC Construction Companies LLC was awarded a $13 million contract for a comprehensive station rebuild, marking its first significant refurbishment in more than three decades.
Between May 16, 2022, and October 28, 2024, the station underwent an extensive $20.8 million modernization project that introduced bicycle parking, a kiss-and-ride zone, and an elevator to improve accessibility. Although initially slated for completion in spring 2023, delays extended the timeline, with the station officially reopening on October 28, 2024.
