Technology Building station opened on March 28, 1996, with the Muzha Line, and is named after the Technology Building on Heping East Road.6 A second exit, in the Longsheng building, opened on June 8, 2026, and the older local name for the area is Long'an Bei (龍安陂).6 The elevated stop stands on Fuxing South Road Section 2, with National Taiwan University's Fuxing South Road gate, National Taipei University of Education and the Holy See's embassy nearby.6

Between the two sit shops that roast what they pour. Rufous on Fuxing South Road supplies other cafés, Moonshine in a Dunhua South Road lane roasts after closing, and Angle on Rui'an Street sells its own specialty beans.234

Local tip: Rufous doesn't open until 13:00, so take a morning coffee on Tong'an Street, a few steps from Xinyi Anhe, and save Fuxing South Road for the afternoon.5
