Tours
Welcome to the Metropole! A tour at the Metropole will allow you to enter into the vision, process, design, innovation and community discussions that created what you see today. You will see how environmentally responsible design supports our mission – from energy efficient systems and thoughtful material choices to spaces for connection and amenities that adapt to the needs of our community. The Metropole isn’t just a place to work, it’s a place where organizations, art, events, cultures and communities converge, uplift and inspire.
