Foggy Bottom Shared Benefits

The 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan outlines a clear guide for future development on GW's Foggy Bottom Campus. In addition, the university proposed to carry conditions from the 2000-2009 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan - including student, faculty and staff population limits and the undergraduate student housing requirement - and made several additional commitments in response to community concerns. Implementation of the Plan and its accompanying commitments will result in shared and lasting benefits for a wide range of stakeholders.
