Design
It is a column-type station with a flat horizontal ceiling, the platform hall is divided by 24 columns, with a distance of 4.5 meters between them. The base of the track walls is laid with slabs of black labradorite, in the center - a wide strip of green Shabrovsky serpentinite, the upper part is decorated with Koelga marble. The walls are decorated with artistic exhibits in the form of bas-reliefs cast from metal. The floors are polished granite with a clear geometric pattern. The light fixtures and furniture were made at ZiK. The project was developed by the institute Uralsky PromstroyNIIproekt (headed by N.A.Kudinova).

The station has two lobbies. The northern lobby leads to the intersection of Kosmonavtov Avenue and Frontovykh Brigad Street; the southern one - to Kosmonavtov Avenue in the direction of the M.I. Kalinin plant.

In the inclined tunnels of both vestibules, there are short escalators for the ascent (2 belts with two lamps on the balustrades between them) and ordinary stairs for the descent. The station has one more feature: the inclined tunnel of the southern lobby does not adjoin directly to the station hall, but is connected to it by a gallery.

Ground Public Transportation
The station has exits to three stops: trolleybuses, trams and fixed-route taxis.
