Sherbrooke is a station on the Orange Line of the Montreal Metro in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in The Plateau neighbourhood of the borough of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal. This station, near downtown, was inaugurated on October 14, 1966, as part of the original network of the metro.
The metro station, designed by Jean Dumontier and Crevier, Lemieux, Mercier et Caron, is a normal side-platform station, built in open cut due to the difficulty of construction under Berri Street near the Sherbrooke Street overpass. It has a single mezzanine giving access to two entrances, one on either side of Berri Street, both integrated into buildings.
The station's main artwork is a mosaic, the only one in the metro, on the Côte-Vertu platform. By Gabriel Bastien and Andrea Vau, it depicts the achievements of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, whose headquarters are nearby.
