The layout of the station building was changed in the early 2000s. The ticket office and incoming cargo deposit were transferred from the east side of the waiting room to the west side, and the café on the west side was transferred to the east side, without a wall in between.

The station has a taxi stop and local bus traffic stop.

There is a travel center next to Lappeenranta Central. It has Matkahuolto and post offices.
