Gallaudet's Development Project

Gallaudet University is planning to develop four acres across from its campus in northeast Washington, DC. The land on 6th Street north of Florida Avenue is now vacant. The effort may include rental housing, offices, retail, restaurants, a community theater, a child development center and cultural attractions. The school says the architectural design will bring together deaf and hearing people. Most noticeably, the fence along the campus’ 6th Street border may be removed.
