On June 15, 1997, NEL Contract 706 got awarded for construction. The Singapore Civil Defence Force held the second annual Shelter Open House on the 15–16 February 2003, with the Chinatown, Serangoon, and Hougang stations.
Art in Motion
Farrer Park has a strong sports legacy and history and is the location of Singapore’s first horse racing turf club, from which the street name ‘Old Racecourse Road’ derives its name. With the Horse Racing and Soccer series of artworks named Rhythmic Exuberance by Singapore artist Poh Siew Wah, Farrer Park’s interior design reflects the essence of the locality’s athletic tradition. Poh’s other sculpture, Aviation, commemorated the first airplane landing in Singapore in 1911 along the Old Racecourse Road in Farrer Park.

Tactile flooring aids visually impaired people in getting from the platform to the station exits. Basement 2 is a service floor that is not open to the public. The platform level gets regarded as a hanging corridor accessible via an elevator.
