Glasgow School of Art, Tenement House, the National Piping Centre, and to some extent Glasgow Caledonian University are local institutions and attractions served by the station.

Like many of the original Subway stations, the surface entrance was part of the shop unit of a tenement building.

After Cowcaddens was declared a Comprehensive Development Area (CDA) in the 1960s, mass demolition of tenement slums and other surrounding buildings took place, and by 1972 the station entrance was the only structure left standing in the area.

The station was rebuilt between 1977 and 1980, including the construction of a new surface-level ticket hall and the addition of escalators.
