The late 19th century was a diverse period in American design, with architects feeling free to draw on numerous historical styles for their buildings. There are also more than a dozen bike racks in front of the building for cyclists. A true intermodal center, the station accommodates Amtrak intercity passenger and New Jersey Transit commuter rail local and regional busses and Rutgers University shuttles. Erected in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR), the station sits adjacent to a viaduct that traverses the central business district and gracefully crosses the Raritan River over a multi-arched bridge. Located in the heart of downtown, the New Brunswick station is within easy walking distance of major institutions and employers such as the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, the world headquarters of Johnson & Johnson, and the historic main campus of Rutgers University.
