The station has three accesses; one is a conventional access within a bus loop, and the other two are glass walled entrances linking to staircases and elevators linked to an underground gallery connected to the mezzanine.

[5] As part of this project, the Saint-Jacques North and South exits were closed, new entrance buildings with elevators were built, and a new piece of artwork was commissioned.

[7] The station originally contained two artworks: a mural by Hébert in the mezzanine, entitled Bonheur d'occasion, featuring the title of the famous book by Gabrielle Roy (in English called The Tin Flute), set in the neighbourhood;[8] and a motorized mobile sculpture by Jacques de Tonnancour suspended in the mezzanine and over the platforms.

[9] In 2001, a statue of Jacques Cartier by Joseph-Arthur Vincent (originally created in 1896), was moved to the station and placed in a light shaft over the Côte-Vertu bound platform.

It had formerly crowned a fountain in a nearby park, but was removed, moved to the station, and replaced with a copy after it crumbled due to exposure.
