Station artwork
The station features public artworks, including the sculpture EcoTech completed in 1997 by eco-artist Deborah Kennedy for the city of San Jose.[3] The station is decorated with a number of icons commonly used to depict routers, switches and other networking devices on network maps as a nod to Cisco Systems, whose San Jose campus surrounds the station.
