The first phase of the western extension of the Helsinki metropolitan area subway line, the West Metro, in use since November 18, 2017, connects Ruoholahti, Helsinki to Matinkylä, Espoo. The West Metro will service over 170,000 passengers per day. The objective that was set for the architecture of the eight new stations along the first phase of the extension was to create distinctive, location-specific identities for them on all scales. ALA Architects and Esa Piironen Architects have designed two of the new stations along the first extension phase: the Aalto University Station and the Keilaniemi Station.
