Originally, Malang Station was on the east side, from where the building is now. Because that building was considered to be unable to accommodate the increasing number of passengers, a new, larger building was made on the west side. The new building continues to be used up to now and the old building that is now adjacent to the train depot and locomotive Malang functions as an office and warehouse for storing railway maintenance tools.
