Since GW relocated to Foggy Bottom in 1912, the campus has continually evolved to ensure the university fulfills its core mission of providing exceptional education, groundbreaking research and outstanding patient care and service.
GW’s Foggy Bottom campus is currently governed by the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, which details a framework for development of the Foggy Bottom campus for a 20-year period. Projects completed under the 2007 plan have dramatically enhanced and enriched the living and learning campus environment, including the Science and Engineering Hall, the Milken Institute School of Public Health building, The Avenue/2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, District House, South Hall and Square 80’s green plaza.
As part of the Campus Plan, GW has made a wide range of commitments to ensure we are best supporting the students, faculty, staff and adjacent neighborhoods that are part of our community. From providing retail stores and restaurants along the I Street retail corridor (between the Metro and 2000 Penn) to implementing dozens of sustainable enhancements and the creation of a campus historic district, GW has made tangible, long-term investments that benefit not only GW and the neighborhoods but D.C. as a whole.
Now, it’s time for GW to look to the future. With the 2007 plan set to expire in 2027, our planning process for the new Campus Plan is underway, and given the integral role both the Mount Vernon Campus and the Virginia Science and Technology Campus have on the Foggy Bottom Campus, consideration will also be given to the services and facilities at these locations as we draft the new campus plan.
What does your GW campus map look like?
Thank you to the campus community for your participation in the CoMap Survey!
Results were shared in our January 2026 presentations. These findings inform the next steps in the campus planning process.
To our Neighbors and Community Members
We invite neighbors to see our upcoming scheduled community meetings and also review materials from recent meetings.
GW’s Strategic Framework and 2027 Campus Plan
A guiding principle in drafting the 2027 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan will be how to build upon and enhance GW’s new strategic framework.
Since the spring of 2024, the GW community has participated in a thoughtful, collaborative process that has produced a new strategic framework to guide the university in its third century. Built for the GW community, by the GW community, the framework will be unveiled this fall and will serve as a roadmap for creating a GW that is both distinctive and distinguished.
As planning begins for the next Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, the university will draw on the goals and priorities of this framework as a foundational guide. Anchoring this work in the framework ensures that the campus plan is aligned with GW’s long-term vision and positioned to advance our shared aspirations.
