It is located at the Tunney's Pasture government office complex, on Scott Street at Holland Avenue.

When originally opened in 1983, the transitway in the area consisted of a through station in a below-grade 'trench' parallel to Scott Street.

[1][2] On June 24, 2016, the transitway station was closed for conversion to light rail, and reopened in 2019 as the western terminus of the first phase of the Confederation Line.

There are provisions to permit the Confederation Line to extend further west along the transitway in the next stage.

The station features the artwork Gradient Space by Derek Root, a set of coloured mosaics lining the platform walls accompanied by a stained-glass skylight.
