Museum Station is an underground rail station on Sydney’s City Circle line. The station was constructed in the 1920s using cut and cover techniques. The station has a reinforced concrete arch spanning over two platforms and is linked to ground level by a network of unreinforced concrete tunnels.

As part of the state government’s Easy Access Upgrade projects, it is necessary to install a series of lifts to provide access from ground level to the platforms. The heritage listed station is located below Hyde Park and adjacent to the Anzac memorial, and hence the impact of construction on the public and the heritage significance of the area had to be carefully considered.

Robert Bird Group conducted a review of the reference design and identified significant risks to the existing station. Subsequently RBG was engaged to redesign the concept for the platform lifts, delivering a scheme that provided improved access and circulation.
