Georgetown's $136M Project Tops Out

WASHINGTON, DC-Construction on Georgetown University’s $136-million Southwest Quadrangle Project has topped out two years after work began, according to the development’s contractor Clark Construction Group. The multi-structure, 860,000-sf endeavor is part of the educational institution’s goal of accommodating more students and faculty in living and working spaces as it enters its third century.

Southwest Quadrangle involves four major development components, the largest of which is the connected three-building residence hall that will ultimately accommodate as many as 800 students. The 315,000-sf housing facility will allow the campus to increase undergraduate on-campus living accommodations from 75% to 90%. A four-story, 64,000-sf building designated for the university’s Jesuit community is another facet of the development. This structure will include public meeting space, private living areas and a chapel. Finally, an 81,000-sf dining hall is included in the project, as is a four-level, 400,000-sf parking garage capable of accommodating 780 vehicles and a ground-level bus maintenance area.
