As an open space amenity of the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, GW has agreed to convert the existing surface parking lot adjacent to South Hall (Square 80/mid-block) into a green and open space. This 32,010 square foot area (between 21st & 22nd Streets/F & G Streets) previously served as parking for 30+ vehicles. This new campus amenity will feature more than 20 trees, an activity lawn, trellised seating and several small landscaped areas. The space will be open to use by members of the GW and Foggy Bottom/West End communities. Work is expected to begin this fall for completion in 2010.
