Project Overview
THE ASTON, 1129 New Hampshire Avenue, NW
As part of the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, GW made a commitment to transition its properties outside the campus plan boundaries to uses other than undergraduate residential use. As such, GW renovated The Aston in 2007-08 and, after the life-safety upgrade, re-opened the building as housing for law school students.

TONIC AT QUIGLEY'S
The Quigley's Pharmacy renovation commenced in August 2006 and was opened for business in mid 2007 as TONIC Restaurant, an American bistro. The design concept for TONIC at Quigley's utilizes all levels of the building, including a take-out counter, a private function room, and outdoor seating. Decor captures the history of the building and GW through photos, period elixir and tonic advertisements, and other elements, along with several televisions for viewing Colonials basketball games or other programs. The physical environment is designed to complement the comfort food menu at this American bistro. Related document: Press Release announcing TONIC at Quigley's
