As you may be aware, the Museum Studies Program has recently relocated to an off-campus office suite located at 13th and G Street, NW. Although daunting and time consuming, this move has been successfully completed in time for the beginning of the Spring 2012 semester!
Reception
The move satisfied The George Washington University’s effort to stay under the DC government-imposed student population cap. Since Museum Studies is a graduate only program and does not teach undergraduate students, the majority of whom live on or near main campus, GW decided to move us. We are closer now to our Smithsonian classes and the DC museum community. It is about a 15-minute walk from campus, near a Metro Center exit.
Small Classroom
The new space includes a large classroom seating approximately fifty students, a small classroom/conference room seating around twenty-five students, a computer lab, a student lounge, a pantry, a copy room, and eleven offices. The classrooms have state of the art technology. For more information on the move, please read Cory Weinberg’s “Museum Studies’ move off Foggy Bottom helps satisfy enrollment restrictions,” in the GW Hatchet!
An Open House will be held in the new offices in February for students, alums and GW colleagues.
