Brookland-CUA is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Red Line. It is located in Northeast at Monroe & 9th Street near Michigan Avenue, and serves the Brookland neighborhood of Northeast Washington and The Catholic University of America. Service began on February 6, 1978.

An unusual feature of this station is that the platform is slightly curved, requiring mirrors to be placed on the inbound side of the platform, to aid train operators in making sure the area is clear before closing the doors.

Transit-oriented development

Brookland-CUA station is slated to be the centre of a massive transport-oriented regeneration with the aim of increasing pedestrian-friendly development and an arts-focused neighbourhood. [http://planning.dc.gov/planning/frames.asp?doc=/planning/lib/planning/02_brookland_mp_exec_intro.pdf Brookland-CUA executive summary] "DC Planning" Retrieved 2008-09-16] The project includes a relocation of the station portals slightly to the south in a plaza with the western end of 9th, Newton, and Otis Streets which will be extended to the station plaza for more conventient access to the rest of the surrounding area.
