The station is located deep underground and consists of a central hall with arcades in the walls. The central hall has been covered with orange-coloured marble and is lit by chandeliers and decorative lamps placed on the walls. Passenger tunnels connect the station to the Leo Tolstoy Square and another street.
The station forms a station complex with a transfer tunnel with the adjoining Palats Sportu station on the Syretsko-Pecherska Line.
Voters chose to rename the station Vasyl Stus[2] - another choice was Lina Kostenko[3] - in a poll taken during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
