Many of these agencies also have a downtown DC office but it usually costs a bit more than renting at the airport and is not as convenient to collect and return. Again, we strongly recommend that you do not rent a car since parking at the University is very limited and costly. Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle: Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle (GUTS) operates five shuttle routes, connecting the campus to the Georgetown University Law Center on Capitol Hill; to University offices on Wisconsin Avenue; to Metro stations at Rosslyn (Virginia) and Dupont Circle (District of Columbia); and to stops in North Arlington, Virginia. GUTS buses depart and arrive at the Leavey Center, (Georgetown University Hotel & Conference Center) in the heart of Georgetown University’s campus. Buses operate between 5:00 a.m. and 12:00 midnight. Metrobus is $1.35 each time you get on. You need to have exact change, the bus driver cannot give change back. You pay on the bus at the meter next to the bus driver. The G-2 bus runs from Dupont Circle, where there is a Metro Station, directly to the main gates of Campus at 37th and O Streets, NW. Metro rail (subway): Washington, DC’s Metro is a clean, convenient subway system. The WMATA or Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s telephone is (202) 637-7000 or (202) 638-3780 TTY. The Metro trains generally run weekdays 5:30am - midnight. On Friday and Saturday, trains run until 2:00am. During the weekday rush hours (5:30am-9:30am and 3:00-8:00pm trains come along every six minutes. At other times and on weekends and holidays, trains run about every 12-15 minutes. The base fare is $1.35; the actual price you pay depends on the time of day and the distance traveled. Children under age five ride free when accompanied by a paying passenger, and there is a maximum of two children per paying adult. Buy your ticket at the Farecard machines; they accept coins and crisp $1, $5, $10 or $20 bills, your change will be in coins. The Farecard should be inserted into the turnstile to enter the platform. Make sure to keep the card - you’ll need it to exit at your destination. 2 The three closest stops to Georgetown are all a half-hour walk or a short taxi ride away: the Rosslyn Metro stop is directly across the Key Bridge in Rosslyn, Virginia; the Foggy Bottom Metro stop is near Washington Circle (Pennsylvania and 23rd); and Dupont Circle Metro stop (on Dupont Circle which crosses Massachusetts Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue and Connecticut Avenue). Taxis: Cabs can be hailed on most major city streets. Fares are based on the number of zones crossed, so be sure to ask what the fare will be before getting into the cab. There are several Taxi Cab companies in DC - Yellow Cab Tel: (202) 544-1212.

  • FINAL REPORT of Special Committee on Marvin Center Name
    Report of the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name March 30, 2021 I. INTRODUCTION Renaming Framework The George Washington University Board of Trustees approved, in June of 2020, a “Renaming Framework,” designed to govern and direct the process of evaluating proposals for the renaming of buildings and memorials on campus.1 The Renaming Framework was drafted by a Board of Trustees- appointed Naming Task Force, chaired by Trustee Mark Chichester, B.B.A. ’90, J.D. ’93. The Task Force arrived at its Renaming Framework after extensive engagement with the GW community.2 Under the Renaming Framework, the university President is to acknowledge and review requests or petitions related to the renaming of buildings or spaces on campus. If the President finds a request for renaming “to be reasonably compelling when the guiding principles are applied to the particular facts,” the President is to: (1) “consult with the appropriate constituencies, such as the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, leadership of the Student Association, and the Executive Committee of the GW Alumni Association, on the merits of the request for consideration”; and (2) “appoint a special committee to research and evaluate the merits of the request for reconsideration.”3 Appointment of the Special Committee President LeBlanc established the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name in July of 2020, and appointed Roger A. Fairfax, Jr., Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor at the Law School as Chair. The Special Committee consists of ten members, representing students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the university, and two advisers, both of whom greatly assisted the Special Committee in its work.4 The Special Committee’s Charge Under the Renaming Framework, the charge of the Special Committee is quite narrow.

  • Restore Mass Ave Tree Plaza Press Release
    Re-greening Embassy Row restoremassave.org RESTORE MASS AVE PROPOSES TREE PLAZA BY PNC BANK ON DUPONT CIRCLE Nonprofit unveils plan for shaded space at city’s most popular Capital Bikeshare station EMBARGOED until November 20, 9 am 2015 | Download pdf RMA Contact: Carole Feld [email protected] | 202-415-2669 | More at restoremassave.org/dupont-tree-plaza/ WASHINGTON DC (November 20, 2015) Today Restore Mass Ave (RMA), a nonprofit working to restore the historic tree canopy and landscape of Embassy Row, released its Tree Plaza Concept Plan. The plan envisions how the barren city sidewalk on Massachusetts Avenue by the PNC Bank Dupont Circle branch can be planted with nine new shade trees. Now the 7,100-square-foot sidewalk area at 1913 Massachusetts Avenue NW, in the heart of the Dupont Circle neighborhood, encompasses a bank entrance and ATM, a future entrance of the Dupont Underground, the city’s busiest Capital Bikeshare station — and just two struggling trees. LEFT: Proposed Tree Plaza looking east. RMA sign is at far left. Leo A Daly/Restore Mass Ave RMA has been planting and arranging care for trees west from 20th Street along Massachusetts Avenue NW to Wisconsin Avenue NW since 2006. To complete its re-greening of Embassy Row, the group now proposes that the current heat island by the bank be transformed into a shaded, inviting community space. The pervious area would quadruple from 4 to 16 percent thanks to the additional tree boxes and the enlarged lawn near the bank’s parking lot. The plaza area and proposed new tree sites are entirely on city land.

The estate is on the high ridge that forms the northern edge of Georgetown. Dumbarton Oaks Park, which was separated from the formal gardens when it was given to the National Park Service, consists of 27.04 acres designed as the "naturalistic" component of a total composition which included the mansion and the formal gardens. The park is located north of and below the mansion and the terraced formal gardens and focuses on a stream valley sometimes called "The Branch" (i.e., of Rock Creek) nearly 100' below the mansion. North of the stream the park rises again in a northerly and westerly direction toward the U.S. Naval Observatory. The primary access to the park is from R Street between the Dumbarton Oaks estate and Montrose Park along a small lane presently called Lovers' Lane.
