Metro’s new nerve center, the Integrated Command and Communications Center (MICC), is up and running. Metro General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Randy Clarke and Metro Board Chair Paul C. Smedberg toured the MICC today during a ribbon cutting celebration for the new Metro Building at Eisenhower in Alexandria, joined by Congressman Don Beyer (VA-8th), Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson, Department of Rail and Public Transportation Director Jennifer DeBruhl, and other Virginia officials.

In constructing the Virginia office building, Metro targeted LEED Gold certification for sustainable building design. The building’s featured public artwork, titled “Tunnel Vision,” was inspired by Metro’s iconic underground stations with converging lines and light to capture the look of a moving train through the system.
