The station has a single island platform in the median of 4th Street, with a ramp leading to Brannan Street.[3] Originally, the station was designed with an exclusive train-only lane on the platform's eastern side and a mixed traffic lane on the western side. The station was subsequently redesigned with exclusive lanes on both sides of the platform, enabling trains to proceed faster through the 4th and Bryant intersection preceding the station.[4]
A stainless steel kinetic sculpture by Moto Ohtake, entitled Microcosmic, was installed at the station in November 2019 – the first of ten artworks to be installed at Central Subway stations.[5] The moving portion is approximately 14 by 17 feet (4.3 m × 5.2 m) and sits atop a 40-foot (12 m) high pole, featuring 31 rotating points.[6]
