The station primarily serves the campus of the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), which it is 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) north of, as well as surrounding apartments.[3][4] The station façade prominently features UTD's logo.[5]
As part of the construction, nearby Rutford Avenue was extended north over the railroad corridor. DART also constructed a surface parking lot for the station, though a parking garage built by UTD has been proposed.[6]
