Designed by Pacific Design Associates of Modesto and VBN Architects of Oakland, the $2.4 million depot was built on four acres of former dairy pastureland.[4] The station has one platform which serves a single track. A free unattended parking lot is available, as well as local bus service provided by Modesto Area Express.
