Location

North Avenue is an underground train station in southern Midtown Atlanta, GA, serving the Red and Gold lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. The station is named after the nearby North Avenue. The walls are made of white tile and painted with a mural of green hills, a blue sky, and clouds. The murals were designed by Gordon Anderson while he was a Professor of Art at Georgia State University. It is among the busiest stations in the system with an average of 15,000 boardings per weekday. The station has a direct entrance to Tower Square and is actually located in the skyscraper's basement.

It provides access to the Baltimore Block, Bank of America Plaza, Center for the Visually Impaired, Bobby Dodd Stadium, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Georgia Institute of Technology, Shakespeare Tavern, The Varsity, Rufus M. Rose House, The Fox Theatre, and the Georgian Terrace Hotel. It also provides connecting bus service to The Carter Center, the communities of Edgewood and Inman Park, Fulton County Sheriffs Headquarters and Jail, Coca-Cola headquarters, Bauder College, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Piedmont Park and Ferst Center for the Arts.
