Design Challenge:
The District seeks to take a bold first step in realizing its plans for the campus by constructing an innovative and aesthetically unique structure to serve interim uses before the redevelopment of the site is complete and has these additional goals:
• To provide an iconic structure to house food amenities (i.e. lunchtime vendors) to serve Coast Guard employees, community members, and other local employees in the years before the first phase of East Campus construction is completed (approx. 2015).
• To provide a flexible space to host other activities such as farmer’s markets, community, and cultural events.
• To activate the East Campus and begin to brand it as an iconic, unique and active asset and destination to the local community, East of the River, and greater DC area.
