History of Admiralty MRT station
The station opened on 10 February 1996 as one of the stops on the Woodlands extension, which linked Yishun and Choa Chu Kang by way of Woodlands. During planning it was called Woodlands East, and it was given the name Admiralty in November 1991. It first carried the station number N15, which changed to NS10 in August 2001 when numbering was revised across the network.
Inside Admiralty MRT station
The station is largely wheelchair accessible, with ramps, covered linkways and a taxi stand with wheelchair access added in an upgrade completed in 2011. Half-height platform screen doors line the platform edge, large high-volume low-speed fans move air around the platform, and bicycle parking is available for those who cycle to the train. Like the other stations on the Woodlands extension, it has a kampong-style roof and a colour scheme chosen to suit its surroundings.
For residents, the station is a convenient starting point for everyday errands. Admiralty Place, a shopping mall, is about 60 m away, roughly a minute on foot.

If you want some open space, Woodlands Admiral Garden is about a five-minute walk and Circle Green about seven minutes away. Whether you are commuting to school, picking up groceries or meeting friends for lunch, Admiralty MRT station puts these places within a short walk of the platform.
