It's hardly surprising that, since the terms of Georgetown's campus plan preclude it from acquiring any new property in 20007 without neighbor assent, the University is looking elsewhere for needed square footage: www.georgetown.edu/news/new-building-to-expand-georgetown-capitol-hill-presence-academic-opportunities

Georgetown strikes deal for new student housing near Union Station
newly acquired property – 500 First Street NW in Washington, DC – will help Georgetown expand its presence on Capitol Hill, bring new opportunities for students, faculty and staff across its campuses and complete an entire city block of university properties.
The newly acquired property builds upon the existing footprint of Georgetown University Law Center, which is within walking distance of the U.S. Capitol and the U. S. Supreme Court. It also is located less than a mile from the university’s School of Continuing Studies.
The 130,000-square-foot building will provide space for a mix of classrooms, offices and collaboration areas.
Many of Georgetown Law’s centers and institutes and some McCourt School of Public Policy centers and institutes will relocate to 500 First Street NW, creating new opportunities for collaboration on innovative policy solutions across fields including health, climate, technology, education and human rights.

Georgetown strikes deal for new student housing near Union Station
Georgetown University has struck a development deal with Gonzaga College High School, with plans to build new student housing on a site near Union Station.
The high school agreed to lease a 33,000-square-foot site at 55 H St. NW to the university, which signed a deal for an 85-year ground-lease last week, per the D.C. Recorder of Deeds. The space is currently home to a parking lot bounded by the school’s football stadium and its Eye Street campus, the office building at 800 N. Capitol St. NW and the mixed-use 77 H St. NW.
Georgetown and Gonzaga officials wrote in a joint statement to the Washington Business Journal that plans for the property are “still in development,” but the university currently expects to build a new residential building on the lot to meet “increased demand for student housing.”
Officials added that Georgetown selected the site due to its proximity to both the university’s existing Law Center and School of Continuing Studies, as well as a property Georgetown just acquired at 500 First St. NW near Judiciary Square. The university expects to eventually move some Georgetown Law and McCourt School of Public Policy programs to that building.
