It is located between Union Street and Harvard Street. This is south of the Transportation and Safety Building and north of Moos Tower and Weaver-Densford Hall.[2]
Washington Avenue on the East Bank was converted into a transit mall when the light-rail line was being built. Construction began in the area in May 2011,[3] and the station opened along with the rest of the line in 2014.
As of 2023, the station received the highest average daily ridership of any Metro Transit light rail station.[4]
