Design

Like dozens of other Metro stations dating to the 1960s, the station was built according to the standard column tri-span or "centipede" design. The architect was Ya. V. Tatarzhinskaya. Visually nondescript, the station's colour scheme is mainly white. Yugo-Zapadnaya has four entrances, all grouped around the intersection of Vernadskogo Avenue and Pokryshkina Street.

gollark: On the large scale online tests I've seen it was split about 50/50; weird that we lean so one box.
gollark: Fun!
gollark: You could argue that this makes the paradox also infohazardous since discussion of it means predictions will be more accurate and you lose some ability to choose.
