The station is connected to the Vendôme AMT station by a pedestrian tunnel, permitting access to AMT commuter rail service on the Vaudreuil-Hudson, Saint-Jérôme and Candiac lines.
The station is a normal side platform station with an entrance near the midpoint of the platforms. The large entrance is located on De Maisonneuve Boulevard in a bus loop. The structure sits directly above the platforms and includes and surrounds the sunken mezzanine. It is the network's deepest station without escalators or moving sidewalks.
