It is located on the exclusive LRT right of way on the south side of 14 Avenue NW, just east of 19 Street NW. Two side-loading platforms with ramp access from grade level as well as pedestrian crossings are located at both ends of the station. The station is located adjacent to the Mall Entrance 5 of the North Hill Centre shopping mall, and is less than 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) away from the campus of SAIT.
The station is located on the Northwest leg of the Red Line, sitting between SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee Station southbound, and Banff Trail Station northbound. The station acts as a transfer point of the MAX Orange BRT bus line, connecting with the North Hill stop.[1]
