The station will have two entrances. The main, accessible entrance will be at the northwest corner of Eglinton Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road. The secondary entrance will be just east of Mount Pleasant Road on the north side. The station will have storage for 30 bicycles.[2]
The main entrance of the station at 256–258 Eglinton Avenue East was the location of a former branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, in a building designed by architect Herbert Horner in 1928. Metrolinx had the building's façade disassembled brick-by-brick, cataloged, labelled and stored for reassembly upon completion of station structure. Only the building's façade will be preserved.[3][4]
