The original building designed by Julian Zachariewicz[1] and inspired by the Venetian Doge's Palace, is Lua error in Module:Convert at line 272: attempt to index local 'cat' (a nil value). long, has 113 rooms and is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.[2]
In 1928-1930, two additional wings were symmetrically added to each side of the building. In 1980, a new separate building was constructed on the north side of the complex station and named Iași Nord.
The main buildings of the station have recently been restored with modern additions.[3]
