| Square 54 |
| The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. |
 Square 54, which is located on Washington Circle on The George Washington University (GWU) campus, is the former site of the GWU Hospital. A new hospital was built across 23rd Street and the old hospital was razed. Square 54 is now vacant; it is one of the most valued land parcels in Washington, D.C.The George Washington University has entered into an agreement with Boston Properties and KSI Services to re-develop Square 54 as a mixed use project consisting of 497,000 gross square feet (GSF) of office space, 329,000 GSF of residential space, and 55,000 GSF of retail space(including a grocery store), supported by three levels of underground parking. The project is being designed by world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli. The project is anticipated to be built and completely occupied by 2010. Wells + Associates has been retained to conduct a multi-modal transportation impact study in support of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) application to the District Government. This study evaluated: on- and off-site automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic impacts; impact on the adjacent Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station; adequacy of the proposed number of parking spaces and loading berths; and appropriate location of the parking garage and loading berth driveways. Wells + Associates is working closely with District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and Office of Planning (OP) staff.  |
