A level entry plane and new pedestrian pathway along the campus perimeter activate the ground floor for a new campus gateway along the busy M Street corridor in DC. A refresh of the Edward Durell building’s plaza-facing façade connects it directly to the pavilion. Additional upgrades include replacement of several architectural fins, windows in the shadow of the pavilion, and stairs as well as the installation of an ADA-compliant lift on 16th Street. Upon completion, the existing buildings will surround a new public plaza and be connected by a new central pavilion with a rooftop terrace that will serve as a new entrance and an event space.
