The original station building was designed by Georg Andreas Bull in Swiss chalet style.
It therefore borrowed the money from its midwife fund and issued a new tax of 8 shillings per house to finance it.
[5] Originally named Sandviken Station, it and the Drammen Line opened on 7 October 1872,[6] as a narrow gauge railway.
First of all is spurred the centralization of many commercial activities in Sandvika, with the subsequent increase to population.
[8] As part of this a new station building was built, designed by Gudmund Hoel at NSB Arkitektkontor.
[12] As part of this work new tracks were built at Sandvika and the cargo division expanded.
[14] In December 1988 the municipality bought the old cargo facility at Kjøbo for 27 million Norwegian krone.
The structure was demolished and made way for a new bus terminal as part of the new station project.
[15] The line past the station received centralized traffic control and automatic train stop on 3 December 1992.
[1] In 1991 NSB decided to build a new station in Sandvika and chose Arne Henriksen's design.
The station saw the tracks raised through Sandvika, allowing the town to be freed from the bonds of a railway running through it.
In addition to increasing capacity, the goal was also to make Sandvika a more attractive site to travel through.
This saw the road past the station closed for traffic, shorter transfer distance between trains and buses.
In addition to faster travel times, it allows the West Corridor eleven more departures per direction per hour.
[8] To the east a similar track arrangement is followed allowing the Asker Line access to the Bærum Tunnel.
The station building is built under the tracks and acts as a common waiting room for both bus and train passengers.
[25] The station is not staffed, but is equipped with ticket vending machines and features and indoor waiting room and kiosk.
[26] The original station building had an unusual design in that it had a common entrance for passengers from the port side through a door situated below an veranda.
[27] The ground floor consisted of a first and second-class waiting room and associated offices for the railway.
[9] The latter was designed by Bjarne F. Baastad and is unique in Norway in that it was building upon two towers with a central section over the tracks.
There are plans to extend this line to Rykkinn and possibly a branch to Sandvika Station.
