History of one-north MRT station
The station was announced in 2003 as part of Stages 4 and 5 of the Circle Line. Early plans placed it along North Buona Vista Road, but the one-north development group persuaded planners to move it underneath Fusionopolis One so that it would connect directly to the key parts of the business park. To offset worries that this shift could limit building on nearby land, the group proposed allowing denser development around it. Trains began carrying passengers on 8 October 2011.
Inside one-north MRT station
The station is wheelchair accessible, with wider fare gates for wheelchair users and tactile routes of raised studs that guide visually impaired passengers from the entrances to the platforms. Look out for A Visual Narrative of Pandemonic Rhythmic Movement by Yek Wong, an Art-in-Transit work made of three brightly coloured aluminium panels. The panels trace how commuters move through the station across the day and are lit by daylight falling from the skylights above.
For most people the station is a practical stop for work, study and meals. Fusionopolis One sits right above the platforms and has shops on site, while the Koufu food centre is about a minute’s walk away for a quick bite. Timbre+, another food centre, is roughly four minutes on foot and makes an easy choice for lunch or dinner after work. Anyone visiting National University Hospital can walk there in around 12 minutes, which makes the station a handy option for patients and visitors as well as office staff.

Tips for using one-north MRT station
- Fusionopolis 1 and Koufu are both under a minute's walk from the station, making them the most convenient stops for a quick bite or errand.
- Timbre+ is around a 4-minute walk and is a reasonable stroll, but allow extra time during lunchtime when it tends to be busy.
- Rochester Mall, National University Hospital, and The Star Vista are all more than 600 metres away, so consider taking a bus or other transport rather than walking, especially in hot weather.
- During morning and evening peak hours, trains on the Circle Line can be busy, so allow a little extra time if you are making a connection elsewhere on the network.
