Plans for the station were first outlined in May 1982, and its construction was announced in October 1983 as part of Phase II of the MRT system.

Additionally, there are two murals created by local artist Erica Wee as a part of SMRT's heritage-themed Comic Connect public art display.

The difference between the concrete of the terrace and the soft soil of the ground resulted in a 40-centimetre (16 in) drop, which posed a risk for elderly riders and young children.

According to a letter published in TODAY by a commuter, the "granite-clad steps of grandiose design" at the station's south front exit "[led] to nowhere".

The other flight of stairs was a set of steps connected to a ramp near Eunos Food Centre in the east side of the station, which was criticised for appearing to be wheelchair accessible when it was not.

Following an increase in track intrusions and commuters slipping when rushing for the train, the Land Transport Authority and SMRT decided to install platform screen doors.

Other landmarks include the Masjid Darul Aman, Eunos Crescent Market and Food Centre, Mangala Vihara Buddhist Temple, and the Kampong Ubi Police Post.

Specifically, designer of the station Scott Danielson of Parsons Brinckerhoff said that "the more [he travelled], the more disturbed [he became by] architects failing to reflect their own culture".

As a part of SMRT's heritage-themed Comic Connect public art display, there are two murals created by local artist Erica Wee.

Wee, who had returned to Singapore after 15 years of working in Kuala Lumpur, commented that the murals were "the best homecoming gift" as it contains elements when she was growing up.
