Sandy Springs is an underground metro station in Sandy Springs, Georgia, on the Red Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It serves the Perimeter Center area, including high-rise office parks near GA-400 and Abernathy Road, north of Perimeter Mall. The station lies entirely within the city of Sandy Springs, Georgia which was incorporated in December, 2005, while the station was opened December 16th, 2000. The station includes a pedestrian tunnel under Abernathy Road providing direct access to North Park and WestRock business parks. The parking deck is expandable to seven stories, though only six have been completed.[2] The station also features knockout panels built into the concourse level to allow for privately built underground entrances to future developments.[2] The station also features colored paneling, with red colored artwork on the northbound platform, and green colored artwork on the southbound platform, making it easier for customers to distinguish what platform they are on.[2]
The Art Institute of Atlanta, American Intercontinental University, United Parcel Service (UPS World Headquarters), North Park business park, Embassy Row business park, the Atlanta Georgia Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Cox Communications headquarters are all located within walking distance or shuttle distance of the station.
It is adjacent to a large shopping complex that includes a multiplex movie theater, the only MARTA station to have one so close.
