Adjacent to the light rail platforms is the southbound Metro Orange Line bus rapid transit station Marquette & 5th Street.

This station is located on 5th Street South, between Nicollet Mall and Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis.

In 2013 Metro Transit began constructing an additional northbound platform in conjunction with and as part of the Nic on Fifth apartment building.

To reflect the tall buildings of downtown and vibrant energy of Nicollet Mall, the station's design incorporates undulating steel columns down the center flanked by dual curving metal roofs.
