The Metro Expo Maintenance facility in Santa Monica is composed of multiple buildings and is over 60,000sq ft. It houses administration offices, maintenance and service space as well as yard tracks, signals and communication. The facility serves as the central maintenance, repair, and administrative center for the Metro Expo Rail line.

The Main building utilizes an expressed two-story braced frame as the main lateral force resisting system and a series of maintenance access catwalks and pits to be able to service all parts of the train. Several trolley cranes run the length of the facility to easily transport the rail car from one part of the facility to another. Ancillary separate buildings facilitate chasis wash and cab wash activities as well as a central signal house
