 Zwarts & Jansma architecten - Wilhelminaplein metro station, Rotterdam
The project, a combination of courthouse, tax office and other offices, was meant to be a stimulus for the southern bank of the Maas, with the ambition of drawing the centre of the city out across the river.
Immediately after the metro tunnel has passed through under the Maas, the tube is still at its deepest point, and it then rises as steeply as possible in order to attain the level of the aboveground metro line.
The new metro station had to be built around the existing tunnel, which had to remain operational during construction work.

Most metros have logos or symbols to mark their station entrances, rolling stock and printed matter such as maps or tickets.
Since most metros around the world are indeed called 'metros' (only few are called subway, underground, U-Bahn, T-bana or something else), many metro logos are more or less fancy variations of the letter M. There are different kinds of metro logos.
Many Russian metro cities are using derived versions of the same sloped red letter M of the Moscow metro.

 BUG backpackers hostel reviews Stayokay Rotterdam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
Rotterdam's downtown is really spread out so there's not really a "centre" per se, but the hostel is close enough to everything.
This hostel is in a good location, right outside a metro station, and all the facilities (rooms, bathrooms, breakfast, bar etc) were good, but the place lacks a little in atmosphere and character.
Although getitng here by metro from Centraalstation involves changing line, from the hostel most of the major musuems are just a short walk away.
