Union, the subway station, has a major artwork in the form a glass partition running the length of the station. The art piece is called "Zones of Immersion" by Stuart Reid, a professor at the OCAD University, and comprises 166 large glass panels, each measuring more than one by two metres, extending 170 m along the length of the platform. Mostly transparent, it is visible from both the Yonge and University platforms. Each panel contains images or words, many based on sketches of commuters that Reid drew while riding the subway.
Union is a rapid transit station on Line 1 Yonge–University of the Toronto subway in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It opened in 1954 as one of twelve original stations on the first phase of what was then called the Yonge Subway, the first rapid transit line in Canada. It was the southern terminus of the line until the opening of the University line in 1963, and today, is the inflection point of the U-shaped line. Along with Spadina station and Queens Quay station, it is one of three stations open overnight to support late-night streetcar routes.

Union Station is the largest and most opulent railway station in Canada and a landmark in Toronto. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style and finished in 1921, this Heritage Railway Station is a National Historic Site of Canada. The main internal feature of the station is the Great Hall which is 250 ft long and 88 ft high at its highest point. Materials such as bronze, limestone, marble, tiles, and translucent glass create a sense of enduring quality. On the west side of the station, the SkyWalk, an approximately 500-metre enclosed walkway to the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, gives railfans a view of the complex tracks serving the station.

This hockey arena plays host to all Toronto Maple Leafs home games as well as Toronto Raptors basketball games. It also hosts many of Toronto's large concerts. The arena is directly adjacent to Union Station and there is a passage leading from the underground concourse into the arena, however the passage can be confusing. The facility was renamed from Air Canada Centre to Scotiabank Arena effective July 1, 2018 due to a change in sponsorship.
