Arnhem Centraal is the main railway station of Arnhem, redesigned by UNStudio in collaboration with Cecil Balmond at Arup AGU. NS Stations owns it. The original station opened on May 14, 1845. Reconstruction of the whole station area began in 2006, and the rebuilt station reopened on November 19, 2015, when it took its present name. The article names no style or materials.

The main building has 18,000 square meters of surface and a volume of 76,000 cubic meters, with a stated capacity of 110,000 transfers a day. A new tunnel under the platforms opened on July 2, 2011, and a dive-under west of the station on August 29, 2011. A footbridge connects all platforms.

About 40,000 passengers use it daily, making it the ninth busiest in the Netherlands. The design won the Dutch Nationale Staalprijs.
