The Capitol Campus

At Georgetown, we prepare the next generation of leaders to be a force for good in the world. As global issues become more urgent and complex, our university is growing to meet this moment and magnify our impact. Georgetown students have the opportunity to work alongside scholars and researchers, policymakers, community leaders and global changemakers on the world’s most pressing issues. The Capitol Campus offers experiential and immersive learning opportunities, dynamic new spaces, and partnerships that are only possible at Georgetown.

Georgetown Law Center

Georgetown Law anchors the Capitol Campus with its history of educating the next generation of law practitioners. For more than 130 years, the Law Center has been located near F Street, just blocks from the U.S. Supreme Court. Its multiple buildings—the Bernard P. McDonough Hall, the Eric E. Hotung International Law Building, the Scott K. Ginsburg Sport and Fitness Center, and the Edward Bennett Williams Law Library—support a vibrant academic community focused on the study and practice of the law in the place where laws are made.

500 First St.

500 First St. is home to academic programs and research centers from the Law Center, the McCourt School of Public Policy, the Medical Center and university-wide initiatives like Tech & Society. The Capitol Applied Learning Labs (the CALL) Program is also based out of 500 First. Opened in 2020 and located directly to the south of the Law Center, 500 First has been fully renovated to include classrooms, office space and places for meeting and collaboration. The ninth floor has a convening space with views of the Capitol Hill area and is open for events for the entire Georgetown community.

125 E St.

125 E St. is a new, state-of-the-art academic home for the McCourt School of Public Policy. With a growing set of graduate programs and a new undergraduate major in public policy, the McCourt School is poised for ever greater impact, deeper engagement in policymaking and more immersive educational experiences. A new landmark building — with an auditorium, rooftop event space and terrace with views of the U.S. Capitol — provides a forum for university events and makes this building a new front door to public policy in Washington, DC.

55 H St.

Opened in August 2022, 55 H St. is Georgetown’s newest residence hall, with more than 450 students living at the Capitol Campus. Located just three blocks from the core of the Capitol Campus, the space features 11 floors, includes a mix of studio, 2-, and 4-bedroom apartment-style units, a penthouse level with a fitness center, a contemplation room, and spaces for studying and gathering. 55 H is home to undergraduate and graduate students participating in academic programs on the Capitol Campus. 55 H will soon welcome juniors and seniors in the Joint Bachelors in Environment & Sustainability and the Joint Bachelors in Public Policy.

111 Massachusetts Ave.

Opening ahead of the fall 2025 semester, located just three blocks from Union Station, 111 Massachusetts Ave is the future home of the Earth Commons Institute, School of Continuing Studies and a range of offerings across Georgetown, including programs from the McDonough School of Business, the School of Health and the School of Nursing. With new spaces for teaching, learning and convening, the building will also include a distinctive space for Executive Education. At the street level, there will be a retail restaurant and bookstore along with a space to support community engagement.
