Laurier Transitway Station is at a three-street intersection where the Mackenzie King Bridge and Waller Street meet the OC Transpo Transitway, very close to Nicholas Street. Stewart Street begins at Waller Street a few metres away. The other end of the stop is located at the intersection of Laurier Avenue and the Transitway (Which has since been converted from a Bus Rapid Transit line to an O-Train Confederation Light Rail Line).

The station is located at the northern end of the University of Ottawa campus and is attached to the Desmarais Building.[1] Laurier Station is within walking distance of Mackenzie King Station and the Rideau Centre. The station serves most of the northern portion of the University of Ottawa campus. The rest of the campus is served by Campus station (Which has since been demolished and renamed to uOttawa in preparation for the O-Train Confederation Line)

On May 29th, 2017, The old remaining westbound platform shelters at Laurier station were demolished and the station's westbound bus sign was also removed, suggesting that this was a move to prepare the station for closure once the O-Train Confederation Line is active at uOttawa (Campus) station.
