Overview

It is a normal side platform station with two entrances, one of them automated. The station, clad in terra cotta, features one artwork, a large abstract aluminum mural by Eddy Tardif entitled Le Pélican, representing Pierre Le Moyne D'Iberville's ship.

Origin of name

D'Iberville is named for the rue D'Iberville, in turn named in honour of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville.

Station improvements

Since spring 2020, station improvement works have been underway at the station. Three elevators and a ventilation shaft will be installed, and the main entrance of the station will be renovated. Because of this, the main entrance building on rue d'Iberville was closed on 19 October 2020. Access to the station is available by the secondary entrance, which remains open. The station will be accessible once the construction is done by Fall 2023.[5]
