VanPelt, P.E., PTOE Date: October 18, 2019 Subject: George Washington University Thurston Hall Renovation Comprehensive Transportation Review INTRODUCTION This memorandum presents the findings of a Comprehensive Transportation Review (CTR) for the proposed renovation to the residential/dormitory development at George Washington University (GWU) known as Thurston Hall. Thurston Hall is located at 1900 F Street in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood in Northwest Washington, DC. Figure 1 identifies the regional site location within the District and Figure 2 identifies the location of the site in relation to the neighborhood and campus. The site is currently occupied by an existing 190,430 square foot building that houses 1,080 beds for first-year GWU students. The site is bounded by F Street to the north, 19th Street to the east, a private alley to the south, and a GWU property to the west. The renovated building will have a reduced GFA of approximately 186,789 square feet with 458 dwelling units and a reduced number of beds to approximately-850 beds. The renovation also includes the addition of a student-only 250 seat dining facility to the building. The renovation is consistent with the Campus Plan/PUD approved in ZC Case 06-11/06-12 in 2007. The Temporary Housing Plan includes the use of One Washington Circle Hotel and The Aston, properties that are not designated for undergraduate use under the Campus Plan and the University seeks Zoning Commission approval of this plan.

FM 3–25.26 8420010_TT1_p144-155 8/19/08 10:53 AM Page 145 Orienteering ■ 145 Introduction As an officer and a Soldier, one of your most important pieces of equipment will be a map. Knowing how to read that map, knowing where you are, and knowing where you are going allows you to call for indirect fire (for example, artillery support), close air support (such as Army aviation assets), and medical evacuation. Using that map is critical to your survival, your Soldiers’ survival, and the success of your mission. This section has three goals: • To introduce you to some basic concepts and techniques of orienteering • To introduce you to some basic map-reading and land-navigation skills that will help you find your way in unfamiliar territory, such as your college campus or around your ROTC training area • To give you a foundation for success as you further develop your map reading and land-navigation skills throughout the ROTC program. In the following vignette, LTC Robert Ballard studied the terrain features of the French countryside while in flight prior to parachuting into Normandy.
