George Washington University’s website says:

“GW’s new, state-of-the-art Science and Engineering Hall will be a research and teaching hub in the heart of Washington aimed at fostering collaborations across disciplines and a dynamic, hands-on learning environment.

The nearly 500,000-square-foot, 14-story complex — with eight floors above ground and six below, including four for parking — is expected to open its doors in early 2015, just blocks from the White House, World Bank and State Department, and in close proximity to a host of other federal agencies and research centers.

The building will nearly double the space on GW’s Foggy Bottom Campus available to several scientific disciplines, including teaching spaces designed for a more hands-on approach to learning and highly specialized core lab facilities, such as a three-story high bay, a nanofabrication suite and a greenhouse.”
