When originally built in 1896, the station had a single island platform serving both tracks. An additional side platform was added as part of the 1977-1980 modernisation scheme. The island platform has recently had a glass wall added on the non-train side, which separates the train boarding from the side platform from being accessed by passengers on the island platform. Each platform has a single stairway linking it to the ticket hall which causes congestion during the peak hours due to conflicting passenger movements sharing the same space. An island platform on a railway describes the situation in which a single platform is placed between two tracks, serving both of them. ... Side platforms Railway stations on double lines can have side platforms or island platforms. ...

Other than St Enoch it is the only station to feature a subterranean ticket-hall, and surface buildings are restricted to a mid-street entrance canopy constructed in the late 1990s. This canopy holds particular interest as it is constructed entirely using structural glass - i.e. all beams and columns as well as the walls and roof are made from glass. This is especially unusual in the case of the columns. St Enoch subway station is the first station on the north of the River Clyde on the Glasgow Subway. ... This article is about the material. ...

Part of carriage 41 (from the Subway's pre-1977 rolling stock) is preserved within the station.
