The station is an elevated structure with a single island platform built beside the employee parking lot, long term discount multi-storey parking garage, reduced rate parking lots[2] and the ALT Hotel.[3] There are bus connections to MiWay Routes 24 and 107.[4]

This station is located near a future transit hub proposed by the GTAA and Metrolinx with connections to Line 5 Eglinton, Line 6 Finch West, GO Regional Express Rail, the Mississauga Transitway and many more local and regional bus connections.[5] Based on renderings, building this hub may involve the removal of the Link Train but this is subject to change.[6]
