Located to the west of the under-construction Hutong (Shanghai-Nantong) Railway, the two-story station will cover an area of about 11,000 square meters. The first floor has been designated as a ticket hall, and the second floor is designed to be a waiting hall.

Space reserved for metro lines has been taken into account, offering passengers the ease shuttling between downtown and the station.
