Whitehall acquired the property, formerly known as Xerox Document University, from Xerox in June 2000 and immediately began a $29-million renovation that concluded in 2002. The property was then renamed National Conference Center.

The center occupies a 110-acre parcel off Route 7 at 18980 Upper Belmont Pl., just five miles from Dulles International Airport and 20 miles from Washington, DC.
