One entrance is located at platform level on the northeastern (westbound) side of the station; another is located in the station's underground concourse, which opens onto the public pedestrian and bicycle tunnel. The bicycle tunnel emerges as a large S-curve just north of the station.
The station has two artworks. One, Train of Thought by Derek Michael Besant, is a series of portraits located in the pedestrian/cycle tunnel, whose appearance shifts as one walks past them. The other, Sphere Field by Kenneth Emig, is a sculpture of a mirrored sphere in a glass case, and is located on the plaza just to the north of the station. [4]
