[3] This subway station is located beneath the intersection of Skinker Boulevard and Forest Park Parkway near the boundary of St. Louis and University City, Missouri.

The station's entrances are clad in brick that matches neighboring buildings on Washington University's campus.

In 2006, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Speed Shift by Erwin Redl for this station.

Located on the mezzanine crosswalk overlooking the platforms, two pairs of rectangular LED boards face each other from both ends of the gangway.

Strips of horizontal light zip towards the centers of the rectangles in accordance with synchronized beeping sounds.
