A Campus Brought To Life
St. Elizabeths East is a unique place to cultivate globally-significant economic opportunities in security, including critical infrastructure, energy, and sustainable technologies and practices – a place where our nation’s brightest minds can think, create, educate, and live. St. Elizabeths East and its unparalleled opportunities for creating commercial success from innovative ideas rest at the virtual heart of the region. Located in Ward 8, just under three miles and a couple of Metro stops from the U.S. Capitol, this historic campus is adjacent to the Congress Heights station of Metro’s Green Line, a short drive from Ronald Reagan National Airport, and easily accessible from the region’s newly renovated Interstate highway system, including I-295, I-395, and the Capital Beltway.
The Saint Elizabeths East Master Plan is intended to guide the city, the community, and the private sector in the revitalization by providing detailed development goals and design principles to shape future development and historic preservation. The Master Plan intends to create a framework that renews historic and cultural resources on the campus while ensuring that new development creates dynamic urban places that reflect innovative and sustainable design solutions.
Construction activities are currently underway and progressing as scheduled. The St. Elizabeths Hospital private access road is approximately 50% complete, with anticipated completion in Spring 2026. In addition, construction of the Congress Heights WMATA busway along Alabama Avenue SE is actively in progress.
