The Potomac Yard-VT Metro Station officially opened on Friday, May 19. The station - located on the blue and yellow lines between the National Airport and Braddock Road stations – will connect faculty, staff, and students from the Innovation Campus with industry, government, and Virginia Tech locations in the DC-area. 

The ceremony speakers included Virginia Senators Warner and Kaine, Virginia Representative Beyer, City of Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson, and Virginia Tech President Tim Sands.

"The Innovation Campus is plugging the broad Virginia Tech community into this incredibly exciting new tech district,” said Lance Collins, Innovation Campus vice president and executive director. "And that’s not just us. That’s Amazon coming to the area. Boeing and Raytheon have announced that their headquarters are moving here. There is really a growth — maybe the fastest growth in the country — in terms of tech districts happening right here in Northern Virginia."
