History
1997 July
During the construction of the Taipei Metro system, Taipei City’s Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) built a training & activity center within Beitou Depot to be used for the training of metro personnel. Upon the completion of the Tamsui Line in July 1997, the responsibility for the Beitou Deport and its maintenance and management were transferred to the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation (TRTC) so that it could be further utilized for employee education and training.
2002 July
In the interests of effective utilization, giving back to residents along the metro tracks, enhancing TRTC’s multi-service provider image, while also increasing revenue, the Beitou Depot training & activity center was made available for public use on July 14, 2002.
2004 January
The training classrooms and trainee dormitory were consolidated in January 2004, and the center began officially operating under the Beitou Resort name. Spaces and resources unused for internal training were made available to businesses, organizations, and groups to host training and development activities.
2008 June
The Evacuation Experience Center was established to fulfill TRTC’s social responsibility and promote understanding of emergency metro evacuation processes. The Center was opened to the public on June 3, 2008, providing the public, schools, and groups with knowledge on Taipei Metro disaster prevention and emergency evacuation using a learning-through-play format. It has now become a popular destination for school field trips and the public.
2022 August
Renamed the Metro Inn, the original trainee dormitory is issued an official hotel registration license by Taipei City’s Department of Information and Tourism. The facility is opened for operation on August 18, 2022, signaling its successful transition into a hotel.
