The station was built in 2002 and opened on August 31. When TransLink was building the Millennium Line, they decided to start building new stations with Lougheed Town Centre being one of them. TransLink hired the architecture firm Hancock Bruckner Eng & Wright to build the station.[1] The station was originally part of the Millennium Line. On October 22, 2016, the station was also made part of the Expo Line after the Millennium Line Evergreen Extension was created and lines were redesigned.[2] It is one of few station where riders can transfer between the Expo Line and the Millennium Line.

It is an elevated station, featuring three tracks and both a centre and side platforms. The first two platforms were built on August 31, 2002 and the third platform was finished on December 2, 2016.[3] For the Expo Line, it is preceded by Braid towards Waterfront via Columbia and ends at the terminus of Production Way–University. For the Millennium Line, it is preceded by Production Way–University towards VCC–Clark and ends at Burquitlam towards Lafarge Lake–Douglas. In 2024, it was ranked at #14 of the 54 busiest stations in use for the SkyTrain.[4]
