The station sits on the northeastern corner of the Raytheon Intelligence & Space campus. It is also close to the Los Angeles Air Force Base, The Aerospace Corporation campus, and the future training facility for the Los Angeles Chargers.

The station is currently the only one on the original El Segundo Green Line alignment with a platform long enough to accommodate a three-car train. The remaining stations are planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.{{Cite news |last=Sharp |first=Steven |date=January 14, 2020 |title=Metro Seeks State Funds to Extend Green Line Platforms |url=https://la.urbanize.city/post/metro-seeks-state-funds-extend-green-line-platforms |access-date=April 7, 2023 |work=Urbanize Los Angeles |language=en}}{{Cite news |last=Steven |first=Sharp |date=April 25, 2023 |title=State awards more funding for L.A. area transportation projects |url=https://la.urbanize.city/post/state-awards-more-funding-la-area-transportation-projects?fbclid=IwAR2Tbxl80eqAh0UMpmIiT53gF33okTqDcEz-sneFBHTxAc33d2EIyZMXKKU |access-date=April 25, 2023 |work=Urbanize Los Angeles}}
