FIRST PROJECT UNDER WAY AT ST. ELIZABETHS EAST CAMPUS

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ground has broken for the first project at St. Elizabeths East Campus, a 183-acre campus located in southeastern Washington, D.C. The Gateway Pavilion will be a $5 million outdoor space that will provide venues for casual dining, a farmers market, and cultural and entertainment events while the rest of the campus is under development. The D.C. Office of Planning & Economic Development has proposed several adaptive reuse projects for Phase I of St. Elizabeths including: 500,000 square feet dedicated to academic and innovation-minded companies; a 400,000-square-foot, mixed-use town center; approximately 100,000 square feet of trophy office space; and civic space.
