It was added later to the system in the 1990s, and built in two stages. The platform for trains headed for Industriilor was built first, and after a few years, the platform for trains headed for Eroilor entered revenue service. As a consequence the two platforms and associated vestibules were built with different materials and different colour schemes were used (the outbound platform features a warm reddish colour scheme, while the inbound platform uses a darker colder materials and colours).

There are plans for the Casa Gorjeana tradition restaurant to open a subsidiary inside the station's vestibule.
