Both platforms are elevated and each has a wheelchair ramp. There is a connecting footbridge between the two platforms. In the area The Jordanhill Campus of the University of Strathclyde, which hosts the Faculty of Education, is located nearby. Several schools are also in the area, including Jordanhill School, Broomhill Primary, St Thomas Aquinas; as well as a Territorial Army centre. For the later part of the 1980s and the early part of the 1990s, a huge Jolly Giant toy centre lay just across Crow Road, and was a major local attraction. It closed in the 1990s and after housing a discount clothing store for a few years it is now a Volkswagen car dealership. Backing onto platform 2 is a Scout hall, home to the 72nd Scout Troop.
