Text description provided by the architects. Located at the center of the District of Columbia’s historic neighborhoods in Ward 8, Saint Elizabeths East is on its way to becoming a viable mixed-use, mixed-income community. Once the site of St. Elizabeths Hospital which provided mental health care to the US military dating back to the Civil War, the campus has been decommissioned and transferred from the federal government to the District of Columbia. Today the 180-acre site provides a setting for public, private, and institutional investment. With the planned consolidation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and location of over 14,000 employees on the West Campus, the redevelopment of St Elizabeths East has become a critical project in realizing the District’s goals of cultivating an innovation-based economy.
