  • NCPC Provides Feedback on the Smithsonian's South Mall Campus Master Plan
    MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release Julia Koster April 6, 2018 202-482-7211 or [email protected] Stephen Staudigl 202-482-7279 or [email protected] NCPC Provides Feedback on the Smithsonian’s South Mall Campus Master Plan Commission also comments on three potential sites for the Desert Storm and Desert Shield Memorial Washington, DC—At its Thursday, April 5 meeting, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) provided comments on the Smithsonian Institution’s draft master plan for its 17-acre South Mall Campus that stretches from the Freer Gallery of Art to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The plan will guide short- and long- term development at the site over the next 20-30 years and identifies projects to improve visitor services and address long-term space requirements as well as physical and operational deficiencies. The draft master plan has changed substantially since the Smithsonian released the original concept in 2014. It takes into consideration feedback obtained through the planning process, including public comments. The Commission supported the Smithsonian’s preferred option for the master plan. This option: • Restores the Smithsonian Castle as the main visitor center and the physical and symbolic center of the Smithsonian’s museums on the National Mall. • Makes the underground Quadrangle Building more functional and modern, with its public spaces consolidated, and its 30-year old roof replaced. • Creates two new pavilions to improve pedestrian connections and accessibility and provides better entries into the Sackler Gallery and National Museum of African Art. • Locates a new Haupt Garden, maintaining many of the current garden’s characteristics, on the Quadrangle Building’s reconstructed roof.
