It is located in the median of Allen Road on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West.

This was one of the three proposed subway lines in the Network 2011 Plan created in 1985 by the Toronto Transit Commission.

The lots were used as staging areas for the tunnel boring machines (TBMs) during the construction of Line 5 Eglinton.

[7] The station building is located on the north side of Eglinton Avenue West between the entry/exit ramps for Allen Road.

On the south side of Eglinton Avenue just west of Everden Road, there is a possibility of an emergency exit or a fourth entrance to be incorporated into some future private development.

[9] The main ticketing and concourse area at surface level is sheltered by an exposed concrete space frame supported by eight circular columns.

Inside, it is coffered throughout the station, with skylights in certain areas, allowing for increased penetration of natural light.

This combination of window treatments allows transit riders to view cars speeding onto Allen Road's northbound expressway lanes, while blocking views of cars stuck in traffic approaching Eglinton, where the expressway—originally planned to continue south to downtown—ends.

In future, as part of a program to install artworks at major interchange stations along Line 5 Eglinton, the station will feature the artwork Super Signals by Douglas Coupland consisting of aluminum panels with brightly coloured concentric circles against a background of black and white diagonal lines.
