Development Projects

The George Washington University, founded in 1821 and rooted in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood since 1912, combines the resources of a major international research university with the unique dynamics of a vibrant, urban setting in the heart of the nation's capital. The university values the Foggy Bottom and West End neighborhoods of which it is a part - and recognizes that a thriving community is a key component of the GW experience for those who study, teach, research, and work here.

Charles E. Smith Renovation​

Smith Center.  A 10-foot bump out will allow for an expansion of an existing auxiliary gym and repurpose areas for team support space.
