Hospital Expansion Gets OGB’s O.K.

With a few final tweaks to the design of its proposed surgical pavilion, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital received concept approval from the Old Georgetown Board, as well as support from Advisory Neighborhood Commissions 2E and 3D, the Burleith Citizens Association, the Citizens Association of Georgetown and the Foxhall Citizens Association.

The modifications to the $567-million hospital expansion include making one entrance ramp to the underground parking garage instead of two, which will help with accessibility and walkability to the larger green space provided by the new plans. The lack of green space in previous plans was a major concern.
