WMATA Metrorail
(Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority)

 

Largo, Maryland

WMATA Metrorail 4  

Washington D.C.’s Blue Line Metrorail extension project includes two new stations at Largo Town Center and Morgan Boulevard. Benefiting from all the hard lessons WMATA has learned about durability in public transit, the new facilities make extensive use of stainless steel products from Forms+Surfaces.

An illuminated version of our Silhouette railing was installed in the stations’ entrances and stairwells. Incorporating a recessed, low-voltage LED light strip on the underside of the handrail, this unique design enhances visibility while also providing a dynamic visual element that complements the tempered glass infill panels.

Stainless steel and glass were likewise materials of choice for 25 passenger windscreens and bus shelters custom fabricated by Forms+Surfaces. Shelter options included telephone enclosures, illuminated display panels and our stainless steel Transit seating. As the Metrorail system reaches beyond the Beltway, Forms+Surfaces products are helping to create cleaner, more inviting station environments that encourage increased use of public transportation.
