University station was opened August 23, 1992 and was the first LRT station located on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River.^[2] It is connected to Government Centre station by the Dudley B. Menzies Bridge,^[3] a dedicated LRT bridge (with a lower level for pedestrians and cyclists). With the exception of the bridge and its approaches, the LRT line between Government Centre station and University station runs through tunnels.

University station was the southern terminus of the LRT line prior to the opening of the Health Sciences station on January 3, 2006.^[4]

The station has a 123-metre (404 ft) long centre loading platform that can accommodate two five-car LRT trains at the same time, with one train on each side of the platform. The platform is just over eight metres wide. Access to the platform is from a concourse level by stairs and escalators located at each end of the platform. There is also an elevator at the north end of the platform. The concourse level provides access to the surface and to the university's Housing Union Building (HUB). It is the deepest station in the system, at a depth of 23 m (75 ft) below the surface.^[5]
