EISENHOWER STATION FEATURES DISTINCTIVE DESIGN
First-of-a-kind design gives a distinctive appearance to the Eisenhower Avenue Station on Washington, DC's new Metropolitan Area Rapid Transit System. The stations's most unique features are its thin, cylindrical, shell-shaped canopies, which partially cover the platform, exterior stairways and escalators. An innovative, three-dimensional space-frame structural system was used to support the track bed, platforms and canopies.
