Delavan/Canisius College station (formerly Delavan–College station until September 1, 2003) is a Buffalo Metro Rail station located at the northeast corner of Main Street and East Delavan Avenue and is known as having one of the longest escalators set up in the country. Delavan/Canisius College station was also bored through rock and remnants of Cold Spring (a small spring) that are visible through occasional water running on the track bed floors.
In 2023, the namesake Canisius College changed its name to Canisius University. As of February 2025, the station has not yet been renamed to match.
