Passenger building The passenger building consists of three sections. The central section has a colonnade of eight columns covered in marble. Between each pair of columns, there is a large window providing light to interior spaces. The two lateral wings extend symmetrically from the central section and are faced with brick. The central section has three levels (of which only the ground floor is accessible to passengers), while the lateral wings are two storeys high. A masonry roof provides weather protection to the entrances at the front of the building, while the entrances on the station yard side are protected by a platform canopy. In May 2007, work was completed on the renovation of the station. The project, financed by RFI and Centostazioni, cost 1.2 million euros. The renovation work was mainly to the passenger building. It included the removal of surplus elements built after the bombings of World War II, the installation of a new lighting system, additional facilities for commercial services, the renovation of public conveniences, and alterations required by laws regulating technological systems.
Station yard The station yard has five tracks for passenger services. Tracks three and four form part of the main line (track 3 for trains with odd numbers, and track 4 for even numbered trains). The other tracks are loop sidings, and are used for trains terminating or overtaking other trains at Reggio Emilia. All tracks except for track 2 have a platform sheltered by a canopy. The platforms are connected by a
pedestrian underpass. There are many other tracks (without a platform) that are used for storing
rolling stock or for goods services. The station also has a
goods yard with a
goods shed that has been converted into a warehouse. The design of the goods shed is very similar to that of its counterparts at other Italian railway stations. ==Train services==
