Development plans for 23rd and F streets show GW's commitment to housing its student population on campus. These plans, which have been approved by the zoning commission, offer more than 700 beds and 88 parking spaces on one side of 23rd Street and townhouse-style structures (pictured) across the street with 204 beds, intended for groups with common interests.

 

The Next 90 Years and Beyond

Ninety years of progressive success have brought us here. And 90 years of hard work dedicated to the betterment of the University community and its relationship with its Foggy Bottom neighbors will not stop here. The evolving face of Foggy Bottom will change for the better as GW’s newest projects come to fruition. The building at 1957 E Street, planned for the Elliott School of International Affairs, will demonstrate the University’s commitment to planning new facilities with attractive architectural features that enhance the neighborhood.

Future plans also include increased on-campus student housing. Additionally, GW will continue enhance its academic programs and physical amenities, including eating and gathering places, both using new facilities and rethinking the use of existing properties. GW also will continue to improve the attractiveness of its campus. The University’s streetscape plan of development seeks to beautify the area, through lighting, signage, and visual art, making it conducive to educating students, pleasing to area residents, and functional for both communities.

GW has achieved milestones in its Foggy Bottom location, and as time goes on, there will be more challenges to face and increased needs that must be met. Ninety years of residing on common ground bind The George Washington University and the residences and business of Foggy Bottom. As time passes, The George Washington University will continue to blossom. Its history will become even more rich, its communities further intertwined, and its ability to deliver more opportunities will continue to flourish. GW is at home here.
