Howard University floats concept to move its hospital

Nov 4, 2019, 6:35am EST Updated: Nov 4, 2019, 6:51am EST                            

Howard University Hospital could be moving.                                  

Howard University has floated a plan to relocate its hospitalto another part of its Northwest D.C. campus and redevelop the facility’s current site. The school unveiled the concept for that potential 3 million-square-foot development project at a Community Advisory Committee meeting Oct. 28, per a tweet from Eric Fidler, chief information officer of the D.C. Department of For-Hire Vehicles.                          

The future hospital expansion, as it’s labeled on images from the presentation, is part of “the beginning stages” of an update to Howard’s campus master plan, the university confirmed to the Washington Business Journal.

While the idea is still in the early stages, the site could be redeveloped in the coming years as part of the school’s master plan for its campus and follows other Howard real estate projects.

Armed ForcesRetirement Home picks new development team for overhaul of its D.C. campus


Alex Koma, Staff Reporter
Washington Business Journal        

The Armed Forces Retirement Home has tapped Madison Marquette and Urban Atlantic as its private partners for the massive redevelopment of an 80-acre section of its D.C. campus.          

The AFRH, the nation's oldest retirement home for veterans, announced Friday that it was provisionally selecting the two developers for the project, which is now more than a decade in the making.                     

AFRH said in a release that the developers are pitching about 4.3 million square feet of new, mixed-use development and the reuse of some old buildings as part of its plan. The project will include residential, retail, art spaces and “sports and wellness venues,” according to the release. The development team also plans to overhaul the historic power plant and hospital complex on the property, which sits adjacent to Catholic University.
