Due to its proximity to the sea and low level, the station has suffered from flooding in the past.

It was completely rebuilt in 2007 to make it more accessible by modernizing the platforms and installing elevators.

[3][4][5] Because of its proximity to sea level, the station is located close to the surface and has only a single level, containing two tracks served by two 90 metres (300 ft) long side platforms.

The platforms are linked by a passage under the tracks, but each has its own separate access to the street.

The Zona Universitària bound platform has access to Drassanes Avenue and Portal de la Santa Madrona, while the Trinitat Nova bound platform has access to the central promenade of La Rambla[2]
