The station was rebuilt in 2004 as part of a project to allow six car trains on the Blue Line. The station is wheelchair accessible, though other downtown Blue Line stations are not as of 2005. See MBTA accessibility. Aquarium is the deepest station in the system, probably due to the need to tunnel under Boston Harbor which is just about 100 feet away.
