Station building of the Dutch Railways, 1912-1915, including the platform roofs in reinforced concrete. The station is situated in the line of sight of the Wycker Percee and as such forms the urban development end of this transverse breakthrough from the old Maas bridge through the old street pattern of Wyck and the former fortifications to the railway yard.

The exterior of the station is designed in a sober, neo-renaissance-influenced architectural style. The interior shows strong Berlagian influences. The station was designed by railway architect Ir. G.W. van Heukelom, commissioned by the Maatschappij tot Exploitatie van Staatsspoorwegen.

The original elevated bridge to the other side of the yard has been demolished. The new elevated bridge with lift between the station vestibule and Meerssenerweg plus the service houses and the gatehouse on the south side of the station are excluded from protection.

The architecture shows a preference for long flat facades, parallel roofs and window divisions with vertical accents. This vertical accent is reinforced by the gables and the stair tower.

Subtle ornamentation by applying facade bands, small rod divisions in the window series, facade bands, simple decorative brickwork, block and mouse tooth decorations, facade plaques with provincial coats of arms in the cornice of the station entrance, gable braiding, diamond motifs, ridge pawns, etc.

Granite lions with the coat of arms of Maastricht above the entrance, designed by Willem Brouwer and carved by Simon J. Tempelman. The reinforced concrete roof of the first, second and third platforms, with steel column bands and yellow-green tile ornaments, is the first platform roof in the Netherlands to be made of such a material.

Maastricht's train station building dates back to 1916 and was designed by George van Heukelom.
Maastricht's train station building was commissioned in 1916 and built according to a design by George van Heukelom. The reinforced concrete platform roof is typical of an important technical and thus innovative development of the time. At the end of 2021, after a restoration lasting more than two and a half years, Maastricht's train station building once again shines in its full glory, revealing old elements of the monumental building. These include the huge mural in the AH to go, the original fountain in the station hall, and an old station clock. In addition, the station facades were cleaned, and the authentic Mosa floor and wall tiles were restored.

Maastricht Station is the central railway station in the Dutch city of Maastricht, located on the east side of the Maas, in the Wyck city centre district. The city has two other railway stations: Maastricht Randwyck Station and Maastricht Noord Station.
From 2018 to 2021, the station building was renovated for 8 million euros. A grand café will be built in the renovated (former) inspection hall and a hotel operator is being sought for the southern part of the station complex. A large bicycle parking basement was also completed under the Stationsplein in 2018. There are also plans to redesign the stony southern part of the square, which will be given a park-like character.

After the completion of the restored building, Maastricht Station celebrated its official opening on Wednesday 3 November 2021, 106 years after it was put into use. The station was opened to the public on 17 October 1915, but was not officially opened due to the First World War.
