It features includes three bus bays and a 280-space park-and-ride facility.
The land surrounding the station is entirely undeveloped save for a gravel supplier and various warehouses. During its planning, Adams County officials preferred a location the west side of Federal Boulevard to benefit a real estate developer. RTD's preferred east location (the eventual site of the station) required industrial cleanup but was hoped to kickstart revitalization of the area. As of 2026, efforts to develop around the station have not come to fruition.
The station features the largest piece of public art to be commissioned by RTD: Addison Karl's hand-painted mural "Doradus", along the embanked wall.
