The station opened in September 2022 and includes a passenger pick-up and drop-off area, a public plaza, and future retail space.

A long-term proposal for a Metrolinx transitway terminal close to Highway 407 and future integration with a Havelock GO Train line, which would use the CPR Havelock Subdivision, will not result in the Cornell Terminal being moved since it will still be required for local bus services and Viva would serve both locations.

[7] York Region acquired land in 2014[8] in the Cornell Centre district, just south of the hospital property and adjacent to a proposed extension of Rose Way east of 9th Line.

[10][11] When the new terminal opened on September 4, 2022, it became the eastern terminus of Viva Rapid Transit's Viva Purple route and a hub for local York Region Transit bus routes.

GO Transit bus routes 52 and 56 started servicing Cornell Terminal on October 1, 2022.
