The station is 35 metres below ground and its platforms is located at basement 5. It was the deepest station from its opening until 22 December 2013 when the Downtown Line at {{STN|M|Promenade| station}} was completed. It is also the station with the longest escalator, at 41 metres which stretches from the ticket concourse to the transfer level and takes approximately one minute to travel.<ref>[http://www.lta.gov.sg/data/apps/news/press/2010/Bras%2520Basah%2520Station%2520Factsheet.pdf "Factsheet Bras Basah Station"].

With skylight entering the station, minimal artificial light is required for the station during the day. The natural light allows improvement in way-finding and safety for the commuters.<ref name='architectureau'>[//web.archive.org/web/20180110093517/https://architectureau.com/articles/bras-basah-mass-rapid/ "Bras Basah Mass Rapid Transit Station, Singapore"].

To let light into the station, a reflective pool of water with glass panels outside Singapore Management University was created.
