2007 FOGGY BOTTOM CAMPUS PLAN: HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN
 The Foggy Bottom Campus includes a unique composition of structures varying in both age and scale. The University is committed to maintaining the diversity of the building fabric on campus through the identification, maintenance, preservation and adaptive reuse of architectural and historic resources. These preservation efforts enhance the campus experience and preserve the broader character and architectural history of the District of Columbia.
The 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan includes a comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan for the Foggy Bottom Campus that celebrates the unique campus environment and urban fabric of Washington, DC through the preservation of individual buildings and collections of historic properties. Specifically, the Historic Preservation Plan proposes a potential historic district on the Foggy Bottom Campus as well as the landmark designation of several additional campus buildings beyond those already designated.
The general approach and concept of the proposed Foggy Bottom Campus Historic Preservation Plan was preliminarily reviewed by the DC Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) at its June 29 and July 27, 2006 public meetings. Also, GW and members of Office of Planning's Historic Preservation staff convened an open community meeting for all interested stakeholders on August 2, 2006. The Preservation Plan will continue to be refined in 2008 and will ultimately be the subject of formal HPRB hearings. The HPRB hearings on the potential historic district and landmark applications will be initiated soon after resolution of any appeals to the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan.
