The project has been developed by the City of Alexandria, Virginia as part of the original Alexandria 2020 plan for the development of the old Norfolk & Southern Railyards. This station will further continue WMATA’s goals of dramatically enhancing its transportation system, implementing its goals of environmental responsibility, high-performance design, and maintainability, and creating a world-class system that meets the passengers’ needs for comfort, ease, and security.
The design build project team has worked closely with WMATA, the City of Alexandria, the City’s Board of Architectural Review and the National Park Service to develop the concept of a station within a park using natural materials and while providing cover for the customers, creating a light and open design accentuating the views out to the connected neighborhood.
