Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community,
For more than 235 years, Washington, D.C., has been Georgetown’s home—from our founding on the Hilltop to our Law Center’s presence near Capitol Hill for 150 years. Our University has grown since our founding and so has our impact as a leading institution in Washington, D.C.
Today, we are positioned for even greater impact—as we invest in our Hilltop Campus and in our new Capitol Campus, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Our new Capitol Campus will provide a home for academic programs across all of our schools, allowing us to expand and support campus life and infrastructure across our University.
On behalf of President DeGioia, we invite you to learn more about the vision for the Capitol Campus and how it will enable our University to unlock new potential.
Watch the video, which was produced in May, and learn more at CapitolCampus.Georgetown.edu.
This fall marks an important moment in the development of the Capitol Campus, as the McCourt School of Public Policy completes its move to its new home at 125 E Street NW. This state-of-the-art building, which will be dedicated at a ribbon cutting ceremony in September, provides beautiful event and convening spaces that are open to the entire University, and academic spaces for McCourt students, faculty and staff.
This move follows the 2020 opening of 500 First Street NW, a home to our Global Health Institute and a range of cross-campus, interdisciplinary research centers, and the 2022 opening of 55 H Street NW, a student residence hall for undergraduate and graduate students. The University is also currently renovating 111 Massachusetts Avenue NW, which was acquired in 2021. Beginning in fall 2025, 111 Massachusetts Avenue NW will house the School of Continuing Studies (SCS), the Earth Commons, the Capitol Applied Learning Labs (CALL), university-wide executive education, graduate level and custom education programming from the McDonough School of Business, School of Health, School of Nursing and our Biomedical Graduate Education programs. Resources in this new building, and across the Capitol Campus, will include student resources and social spaces such as mission and ministry, counseling, library, recreation and other services that are offered on the Hilltop Campus.
Future plans for the Capitol Campus include the recent acquisition of 77 H Street NW, a residential building with retail space. Georgetown Law also has plans for a new 200,000-square-foot building that will meet a critical demand for academic space on campus — providing smaller classrooms, collaborative study areas, spacious convening rooms, and a Moot Courtroom and Clinical Programs Suite.
As President DeGioia shared, “On the Hilltop and the Capitol Campus, in Doha and across our global community, we have an extraordinary opportunity, at a pivotal moment in our world, at a time when our university’s values, our commitments, and our ideals are more important than ever. We take this next step, together, to realize our full promise as a global Georgetown community.”
We encourage you to explore our Capitol Campus website and watch the video to learn more about the academic offerings and campus life on this new campus.
Sincerely,
Robert M. Groves
