History
The station began operations on October 17, 1943, as a component of the State Street subway. Its design includes a standard configuration with fare control positioned on a mezzanine level between the street and platform. In 2006, the station's signage was modernized to align with the Current Graphic Standard. The Polk Street secondary entrance, which had been closed since 1968, was reopened on February 9, 2009, in response to increased commercial and residential development in the South Loop. This entrance underwent a temporary closure in April 2014 but resumed service the following month. Additionally, the primary entrance was shut for a short period from June to July 2014. The main access point for Harrison station is located directly opposite Jones College Prep High School.
