Design Competition: Exciting Start to Implement National Mall Plan
A design competition for three sites on the National Mall was announced on September 8, 2011 by the Trust for the National Mall. The competition sites are:

  • Union Square at the foot
    of the U.S. Capitol
  • Washington Monument Grounds
    at Sylvan Theater
  • Constitution Gardens

To begin accomplishing the vision of the approved National Mall Plan the design competition is looking at three projects simultaneously.  This reinforces the cohesive approach necessary to meet the needs of the National Mall’s current and growing levels of use while preparing it for the continued enjoyment of future generations.  The competition will emphasize the highest quality design, sensitivity to the historic context, sustainability, maintainability, welcome and flexible public use. 
More information about the competition
