Bloomington Central Station is a light rail station on the Metro Blue Line in the Twin Cities region of the U.S. state of Minnesota.
The area surrounding the station was formerly the headquarters of Control Data Corporation.[1] The company's largest office tower still remains and is now the headquarters of HealthPartners.[2]
Since the station was opened in 2004, the area has been developed as a transit-oriented development.[3] The area immediately surrounding the station features a hotel, condominium, and several new apartment buildings. Like the nearby American Boulevard Station, it is in close proximity to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
The platform of Bloomington Central Station had the first 17 Fibonacci numbers written in binary using different colored bricks.[4]
