The 2000 artwork here is called Uptown New York by Frank Leslie Hampton. It uses a mixture of glass and marble mosaics to create a full width display of a Bronx apartment building with a rooftop garden, and clothes hanging out on a line to dry on a cloudy day. This mural is as wide as the mezzanine and faces the full-time booth area.
In 2019, the MTA announced that this station would become ADA-accessible as part of the agency's 2020–2024 Capital Program.[1] An elevator was installed to the southeast corner of Echo Place and Grand Concourse. An alternate proposal for the installation of the elevator to the street would have placed it at the southwest corner of that intersection. Two elevators lead from the southern fare control area to the two platforms.[2] The elevators were opened on February 27, 2024.[3] [4]
The station had a full length mezzanine above the platforms.[5] However, after a 1999 renovation, it was split into three sections. The northernmost and southernmost portions are separate fare control areas, and the central portion is now used as a storage area.
In January 1992, the MTA proposed closing the free zone passageway on the east side of the station, connecting to the station entrances at Tremont Avenue and East 179th Street; prior to the station renovation, it was gated off. The middle portion as well as the passageways on the east and west sides have been walled off to the public.[6]
The full-time booth is in the southern portion. It has three street stairs leading to all corners except the southeast corner of Grand Concourse and Echo Place, and two stairs to each platform. The street stair on the west side has a small passageway. The elevator is located on the southeast corner of Grand Concourse and Echo Place. The part-time side at the northern portion. It had its booth removed during the aforementioned renovation, has two street stairs, one to each side of the Concourse at 179th Street, and has two stairs to each platform.
