The station is named for the intersection of Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (Interstate 635) and North Central Expressway (U.S. Route 75), which it is adjacent to. The station services the two Dallas campuses of Texas Instruments through employee shuttles;[4] it also services Dallas College Richland Campus via bus.[5]
History
LBJ/Central was originally proposed in 1997 as part of the North Central Corridor.[6] The land for the station, which originally consisted of several baseball fields, was donated by Texas Instruments.[7]
The station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's third expansion, which expanded the line from Park Lane to Galatyn Park.[2]
Artwork
In tribute to Texas Instruments, the station's façade is decorated with circuit boards. The station's canopy is decorated with translucent panels honoring local organizations and individuals.[8]
