Elevators were added between the mezzanine and the platforms in November 2009, which mader the station more accessible to people with reduced mobility. However, no step-free access to the surface was possible until 2019, when elevators were added connecting the mezzanine level to Terminus Centre-Ville and to the lobby of 1000 De La Gauchetière.

Another elevator connecting the station to Place du Canada and the Château Champlain was once the only elevator in the system; it is separated from the mezzanine level by steps.
The station is equipped with the MétroVision information screens, which display news, commercials, and the time until the next train.
