As this station's shape was tightly constrained by elements such as a major underground aqueduct and ventilation works from the Mont Royal railway tunnel, the architect chose a progression of shades of pink to unite its disparate elements. Chosen due to the station's service of the UM's faculty of music and the École de musique Vincent-D'Indy, the colour scheme gives a dreamlike, surreal quality to the station's space, evoking the emotions inspired by music.
The station's most recognizable elements are its unforgettable benches of moulded concrete, designed with high curving backs and painted a shocking pink. Unfortunately, these benches' design owes more to avant-garde styling than to considerations of comfort, as they do not seem to be planned for either the average back or the average backside.
The platform is connected by a high volume to the irregularly-shaped mezzanine above, which overlooks the same volume. In contrast to the platforms, with their hot pink and dusty rose, these spaces are paler pink, although with the same strong patterns on the ground.

The accesses are a diverse collection of shapes. The main entrance is built below the entrance of the CEPSUM sports complex, and offers direct entrance into the complex.

Two other kiosks on either side of ave. Vincent-d'Indy are of unusual spindle shapes. They are of steel, glass, and concrete with hot pink details and moulded concrete decoration.
