The stop has a passenger building developed on two floors. It has a characteristic "ad L" plant, as the left part of the facade is extruded on the street side on both floors[2]. Part of the ground floor is open to users, as it houses a waiting room also equipped with information panels. The movement director is located next to the room. In the immediate vicinity of the PV there is an additional service building, inaccessible to users.
