Ashby Street MARTA Station

The station serves as a community station for the Ashby Street – M. L. King Jr. Drive business district and Atlanta University Center Campus. The station design consists of two 600 ft. subterranean platforms stacked upon one another. Entry to the station is at ground level, utilizing escalators and elevators to enter onto the concourse. Boarding the west bound train is on the same level as the concourse. The east bound platform is one level below. The concourse areas are primarily column free to avoid creating a “basement” type facility. On the north wall of the concourse, as a focal point of the station is a mosaic mural executed by Lev Mills, a noted local black artist. The station was designed “barrier free” for handicapped patrons. The design was a joint-venture of J.W. Robinson & Associates, Inc., Keck and Hood, Inc. and Dalton, Dalton, Little-Newport.
