Grosvenor Completes Athletic Facility at British DC School   

Grosvenor completed an athletic facility at the British International School of Washington (BISW) in DC, adjacent to its redevelopment project at 3300 Whitehaven Street.  

The redevelopment involves replacing a Georgetown University office with 280 Class A rental apartments. The new dual-use facility serves as both a gymnasium and auditorium. Equipped with basketball, volleyball, futsal, and badminton courts, it accommodates 198 spectators. The redevelopment will also provide new play areas and expansion space for the school, alongside the anticipated multifamily building. 

“Our excitement for the new gym is immeasurable,” said BISW principal Ian Piper. “This state-of-the-art facility will not only foster physical wellness but also serve as a hub for cultivating teamwork, learning, and unforgettable experiences for our students. We’re thrilled to witness the incredible impact this space will have on our school community’s growth and success.”
