Currently there is no vacant space available within the 9,600 square foot administrative office space that Metro leases at 1245 E Washington Avenue. For the past year Metro’s in house advertising program has been accommodated in a 603 square foot office suite subleased from UW Research Inc located within the same building occupied by Metro administration.

In order to accommodate both programs, Metro proposes to amend the sub lease from UW Research Inc.to include two (2) 603 square foot suites and extend the term to January 31, 2016.
