Bras Basah (CC2) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line. It is the second deepest MRT station with the deepest point at 35m below ground level. It also houses the longest escalator, at 41 m which stretches from the ticket concourse to the transfer level and takes approximately one minute to travel.[1] To let light into the station, a reflective pool of water with glass panels outside Singapore Management University was created.

The station was commissioned through the Marina Line Architectural Design Competition jointly organized by Land Transport Authority and Singapore Institute of Architects. The competition required no track record and is acknowledged by the industry as one of the best run competitions held in Singapore to date. In 2009, "Best Transport Building" was awarded to the designers at WOHA Architects at the World Architecture Festival.[2]
