Colorado station is located next to the Colorado Center, a large movie theater and office building complex. The station features a public art sculpture entitled Big Boots, which was created by Ries Niemi and dedicated in 2006.[6]
The station sits in an open cut below grade; tracks enter a tunnel on either side. Bus bays are located to the north of the station, and parking to the south. A bridge over the station connects the bus bays and parking lot, and provides access to both platforms.
