The construction is the same standard as the Kharkiv Metro single vault layout, with a provision for the platform to be raised. Decoratively, a large monolithic concrete vault with a series of niches with suspended luminescent chandeliers. Red brickwork and gray marble is used on walls whilst red and gray granite cover the floor.
As both of these single-vault stations are built to the Metro standard, the track between them is a full bored tunnel rather than the open method used elsewhere. The system also reaches its deepest point, 22 meters between the two stations.
The station is situated on the intersection between the Metalurhiv avenue and Sobornosti street near the Metalurh Stadium, home ground to FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih. The station has two underground vestibules, interconnected with subways.
