Platform level is situated in the centre median of the Allen Road expressway and there are escalators and stairs inside all 3 entrances that lead to platform level. The centre island platform has an open-air design with concrete pillars and X-beam steel ceiling support pillars along the centre of the platform. Also, there are glass enclosed passenger waiting boxes in the centre of the island platform. The ceiling over the centre platform is a central vaulted glass roof that spans the length of the station allowing natural sunlight into the station. The station once featured a multicoloured stained glass ceiling skylight made by Rita Letendre called ''"Joy"''. <ref>[http://ccca.concordia.ca/videoportrait/english/letendre.html?languagePref=en& Rita Letendre] Video Portraits - Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art. Retrieved on 18 April 2016.</ref> Unfortunately, it had faded over the years and was replaced with a clear glass skylight at the request of the artist. The platform side walls are concrete with rounded rectangular glass panels running the length of the station. | Platform level is situated in the centre median of the Allen Road expressway and there are escalators and stairs inside all 3 entrances that lead to platform level.
