The station has two high-level side platforms, each 10 cars long, serving the outer tracks of the four-track Northeast Corridor.

Unlike most stations on the line, Greenwich station is owned and maintained by multiple agencies and organizations. The State of Connecticut owns the station's platforms, Metro-North maintains the platforms, but the station building and parking facilities are privately owned.

History

The Penn Central Transportation Company opened the current station building on March 5, 1970, replacing an older structure, built by the New York & New Haven Railroad, which was demolished. As built the new building was a two-story structure with 8,550-square-foot (794 m) of space. The station was the centerpiece of Greenwich Plaza, a new mixed-use retail development. A proposed $45 million project, of which plans were shown in July 2019, would replace that building with a new station on the south side of the tracks.
